Objective Prolonged air leaks in patients with spontaneous pneumothorax are not infrequent. The aim of this study was to assess the duration of air leaks and define the clinical variables associated with the therapeutic success of chest tube drainage for spontaneous pneumothorax. Methods A total of 441 patients with spontaneous pneumothorax treated with chest tube drainage between 2008 and 2012 were retrospectively evaluated. The clinical differences between the patients successfully treated with drainage and those who required more invasive procedures were analyzed. Results Invasive procedures, such as video-assisted thoracic surgery (n=121), fibrin glue administration through a chest tube (n=8) and pleurodesis with OK-432 (n=21), were performed in 34% (150/441) of the patients. The treatment rate of chest drainage alone was higher in the patients with initial pneumothorax (72%; 124/170) than in those with recurrent pneumothorax (62%; 167/271) (p=0.015). In addition, this rate was higher in the patients with moderate lung collapse (70%; 167/237) than in those with severe lung collapse (61%; 124/204) (p=0.032). Conclusion Patients with recurrent pneumothorax or severe lung collapse associated with prolonged air leakage are more likely to receive invasive procedures.
