Abstract

Pneumothorax is a commonly encountered problem in the Trauma Bay. The ED management of pneumothorax depends on their etiology, their size, and clinical stability of the patient. The term occult pneumothorax (OP) is a pneumothorax that is not suspected on the basis of clinical examination or initial chest radiography, but is later detected on computed tomography (CT) scan. Some Surgeons favour placement of a ICD tube for patients with OP, while others favour close observation without chest drainage. This study was conducted both to determine the incidence of OP and to describe its current treatment status in the chest trauma population at an Indian tertiary trauma centre
