    • Management of pneumothorax with 8.3-French Pigtail Catheter: description of the ultrasound-guided technique and case series
    Authors: Camilo, Ramírez-Giraldo; Carlos Eduardo, Rey-Chaves; David Rene Rodriguez, Lima;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    Spontaneous and traumatic pneumothorax are most often treated with chest tube (CT) thoracostomy. However, it appears that small-bore drainage systems have similar success rates with lower complications, pain, and discomfort for the patient. We present the description of the ultrasound-guided technique for pneumothorax drainage with an 8.3-French pigtail catheter (PC) in a case series of 10 patients.
