Comparison of analgesic use during iatrogenic pneumothorax treatment using an ambulatory device and a chest tube – a pilot study
Original language description
Background: Pneumothorax is a common condition usually requiring invasive treatment. Nowadays, Heimlich valves and pneumothorax devices are available on the market. They offer full mobility and a higher level of comfort. It is however not yet known whether this approach is less painful in comparison with a classical chest tube with patients subsequently requiring lower doses of analgesia. The aim of this pilot study was to compare the Pleural Vent™ device and large-bore chest drainage (16/18F) in terms of the amount of analgesia used during the treatment of iatrogenic pneumothorax. Methods: This is a prospective non-randomized trial to which, 36 subjects (30 males) with iatrogenic pneumothorax were enrolled. 18 subjects were treated with Pleural Vent™ and 18 by chest tube insertion. The target level of analgesia was set at <3 on the VAS (Visual Analog Scale; 0-10). The total amount of analgesia administered was calculated and the data statistically evaluated. Results: The groups did not differ significantly with regards to gender, age, body weight and pneumothorax aetiology. A statistically significant difference was found between the Defined Daily Doses of analgesics needed to obtain the required level of analgesia (p=0.037). Conclusions: This pilot study found that patients with iatrogenic pneumothorax treated with the Pleural Vent™ system required less analgesia in comparison with a chest tube. In accordance with a power analysis performed, more patients are currently being enrolled for future statistical evaluations.
