BackgroundPneumothorax is more frequent in the neonatal period, especially among premature infants. Pigtail catheters have been shown to be as effective as and less invasive than traditional chest tubes in adults; however, data regarding premature infants are limited. We aimed to compare the efficacy, safety, and complications associated with the placement of traditional chest tubes versus pigtail catheters in premature infants with pneumothoraces.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the medical records of premature infants with pneumothorax seen in the neonatal intensive care unit of a single medical center over a period of 11 years, who were treated with either traditional chest tubes or pigtail catheters. Changes in the vital signs before ...
