Abstract

Background: The large caliber catheter used in the treatment of pneumothorax causes great damage to the chest wall and organs. The purpose of this study was to prove that the use of a smaller caliber catheter is effective in treating pneumothorax with decreasing admission period and that the recurrence rate of spontaneous pneumothorax is low. Methods: Patients who had been admitted for treatment of first time occurrence of pneumothorax between May, 2004 and December, 2008 were included in the study. The caliber of catheter used this study is 18 Guage (1.2mm). The efficacy of treatment, admission period and recurrence rate of treating pneumothorax with small caliber catheter were compared to the control group using a tube thoracostomy for treatment. Results: The admission period for primary spontaneous pneumothorax was 10.8$\pm$3.6 days for the group (n=68) using tube thoracostomy compared to 4.5$\pm$1.3 days for the group (n=31) using the small caliber catheter (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in recurrence rate between the two groups. Conclusion: The use of a smaller caliber catheter for the treatment of pneumothorax reduces the admission period without a significant increase in recurrence rates.

연구 배경: 공기가슴증 치료 시 사용되는 흉관삽입술은 통증이 심하고, 흉터가 남으며, 흔하지 않지만 삽관 주위 조직에 손상을 입히기도 하여 그에 따라 입원 기간도 연장된다. 본 연구에서는 성인의 자연 공기가슴증 치료로 기존의 흉관삽입술과 소구경 도관을 삽입한 경우에 치료 결과를 비교하고자 하였다. 방 법: 원발성 공기가슴증 진단을 받고 흉관삽입술 치료나 직경 1.2 mm 길이 10 cm의 소구경 도관 삽입 치료를 받은 환자 99명을 대상으로 합병증, 재원일수, 치료성공률 그리고 12개월간 재발률을 비교하고 통계학적으로 분석하였다. 결 과: 흉관삽입군의 재원 일수는 10.8$\pm$3.6일(n=68), 소구경 도관 삽입군의 재원 일수는 4.5$\pm$1.3일(n=31)로 재원 일수를 감소시켰으며(p<0.05), 치료 성공률과 재발률에는 차이가 없음을 확인하였다. 결 론: 성인에서 자연 공기가슴증 발생 시 흉관 삽입보다 덜 침습적이어서 시술이 용이하고, 재원 일수를 감소시킬 수 있는 장점을 가진 소구경 도관 삽입을 초 치료 방법으로 고려할 수 있겠다.
