Current aspects of spontaneous pneumothorax
Open accessAbstract
Although spontaneous pneumothoraces have been recognized and treated for almost 180 yrs, new aspects have emerged concerning pathogenesis, diagnostic procedures and treatment modalities. In spite of the fact that blebs and bullae are frequently found in patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax, they seldom seem to be the actual cause of the pneumothorax. Inflammatory changes in the distal airways play an important role in the occurrence of the pneumothorax during transpulmonary pressure changes. The value of the routine use of additional expiratory chest radiographs in diagnosing pneumothoraces has been doubted in previous studies. In this review, the diagnostic yield from additional expiratory chest radiographs is analysed. The role of previous pneumothoraces at presentation and the presence of blebs and bullae are discussed in predicting future recurrences and choosing appropriate treatment for optimal cost-effectiveness. Recommendations are made regarding treatment of primary and secondary spontaneous pneumothorax.

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.
