Abstract

Background The optimal initial management of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) remains controversial. This study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intrapleural minocycline following aspiration for initial treatment of PSP. Methods Between January 2004 and November 2006, 64 patients with a first episode of PSP were successfully treated by simple aspiration using pigtail or intravenous needle catheter. From December 2005, 31 of the patients also received 300mg of minocycline hydrochloride post lung expansion, instilled through the catheter into the pleural space (minocycline group). The control group consisted of the first 33 patients of the series who had successfully undergone simple aspiration alone between January 2004 and December 2005. Results There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of demographic data. Patients in the minocycline group had higher doses of meperidine injection. The group hospitalization rates and mean hospital stays were comparable. After a mean follow-up of 13 months (range 3-26), recurrence was noted in 4 of the minocycline group and 11 of the control group (12.9% versus 33.3%, p=0.045). Subsequent thoracoscopic surgery for the recurrent patients revealed that minocycline induced scant loose adhesions which did not significantly affect operation procedures. The long-term pulmonary function and rates of residual pain for the two groups were comparable. Conclusions Although associated with immediate chest pain, intrapleural minocycline following simple aspiration is a simple, safe and convenient initial treatment for PSP that may reduce the rates of ipsilateral recurrence.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
