Incidence and Management of Neonatal Pneumothorax in a 10-Hospital Regional Perinatal Network in Switzerland: A Retrospective Observational Study. Am J Perinatol 2024; 41:e3305-e3312. [PMID: 38154466 PMCID: PMC11150061 DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1777861] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 12/30/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pneumothorax (PTX) is a potentially life-threatening condition that affects neonates, with an incidence of 0.05 to 2%. Its management includes conservative treatment, chest tube (CT) drainage, and needle aspiration (NA). Aims were to evaluate the incidence of PTX in a 10-hospital perinatal network, its clinical characteristics and risk factors, and to compare the different treatment options. STUDY DESIGN All neonates diagnosed with PTX and hospitalized in the network were included in this retrospective observational trial over a period of 30 months. Primary outcome was the incidence of PTX. Secondary outcomes were the treatment modality, the length of stay (LOS), and the number of chest X-rays. RESULTS Among the 173 neonates included, the overall incidence of PTX was 0.56 per 100 births with a large range among the hospitals (0.12-1.24). Thirty-nine percent of pneumothoraces were treated conservatively, 41% by CT drainage, 13% by NA, and 7% by combined treatment. Failure rate was higher for NA (37%) than for CT drainage (9%). However, the number of X-rays was lower for patients treated by NA, with a median of 6 (interquartile range [IQR] 4-6.25), than by CT drainage, with a median of 9 (IQR 7-12). LOS was shorter for NA than for CT drainage, with a median of 2 (IQR 1-4.25) and 6 days (IQR 3-15), respectively. Complications, including apnea and urinary retention, occurred in 28% of patients managed with CT drainage, whereas none was observed with NA. CONCLUSION High variability of PTX incidence was observed among the hospitals within the network, but these values correspond to the literature. NA showed to reduce the number of X-rays, the LOS, and complications compared with CT drainage, but it carries a high failure rate. This study helped provide a new decisional management algorithm to harmonize and improve PTX treatment within our network. KEY POINTS · Neonatal PTX is a frequent pathology with a high incidence requiring urgent management.. · We report a large variability of PTX incidence between different hospitals of the same network.. · Needle aspiration carries higher failure rate, shorter hospital stay duration without complications reported..

Abstract
With the advent of surfactant and gentle ventilation, the incidence of neonatal pneumothorax has decreased over the last two decades. Pneumothorax associated with respiratory distress syndrome is more common in preterm infants, but term infants often present with isolated pneumothorax. The use of CPAP or non-invasive respiratory support in the delivery room for a term infant with respiratory distress increases transpulmonary pressures and increases the risk of pneumothorax. Prompt diagnosis with a high index of suspicion, quick evaluation by transillumination, chest X-ray or lung ultrasound is critical. Management includes observation, needle thoracocentesis and if necessary, chest tube placement. This manuscript reviews the incidence, pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of a term infant with isolated pneumothorax, summarizing the combination of established knowledge with new understanding, including data on diagnostic modes such as ultrasound, reviewing preventative measures, and therapeutic interventions such as needle thoracocentesis and a comparison of pigtail vs. straight chest tubes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) is the presence of air in the pleural space, occurring in the absence of trauma and known lung disease. Standardized expert guidelines on PSP are needed due to the variety of diagnostic methods, therapeutic strategies and medical and surgical disciplines involved in its management. METHODS Literature review, analysis of the literature according to the GRADE (Grading of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation) methodology; proposals for guidelines rated by experts, patients and organizers to reach a consensus. Only expert opinions with strong agreement were selected. RESULTS A large PSP is defined as presence of a visible rim along the entire axillary line between the lung margin and the chest wall and ≥ 2 cm at the hilum level on frontal chest X-ray. The therapeutic strategy depends on the clinical presentation: emergency needle aspiration for tension PSP; in the absence of signs of severity: conservative management (small PSP), needle aspiration or chest tube drainage (large PSP). Outpatient treatment is possible if a dedicated outpatient care system is previously organized. Indications, surgical procedures and perioperative analgesia are detailed. Associated measures, including smoking cessation, are described. CONCLUSION These guidelines are a step towards PSP treatment and follow-up strategy optimization in France.

Abstract
Following current guidelines, spontaneous pneumothorax should be primarily managed with minimal invasive strategies. In real-world clinical practice, oxygen supplementation regardless of the presence or absence of hypoxemia is frequently applied in patients with a pneumothorax, with the intention to enhance the resorption rate of air from the pleural cavity ("nitrogen wash-out theory"). This review provides an overview of the scientific origin of this practice in animal models, and its clinical use in adult and paediatric patients. Clinical studies from PubMed, Embase and Cochrane library were reviewed by the authors using the keywords, "oxygen AND pneumothorax", "nitrogen washout AND pneumothorax" and "nitrogen AND pneumothorax", and recommendations from current guidelines were also reviewed by the authors. A selected total of nine clinical studies and three guidelines were included. Though in animal models there appears to be a therapeutic effect of oxygen therapy for the treatment of pneumothorax, clinical data in patient populations mainly stem from retrospective studies, mostly with a small sample size and inadequate study design. We recommend conducting prospective clinical studies with adequate methodology to address the question of whether or not oxygen therapy should be used to treat pneumothorax, regardless of the presence or absence of hypoxemia.

Abstract
Introduction : Le pneumothorax spontané primaire (PSP) est un épanchement gazeux dans la cavité pleurale, survenant hors traumatisme et pathologie respiratoire connue. Des recommandations formalisées d'experts sur le sujet sont justifiées par les pluralités de moyens diagnostiques, stratégies thérapeutiques et disciplines médicochirurgicales intervenant dans leur prise en charge.
Méthodes : Revue bibliographique, analyse de la littérature selon méthodologie GRADE (Grading of Recommendation Assessment, Development and Evaluation) ; propositions de recommandations cotées par experts, patients et organisateurs pour obtenir un consensus. Seuls les avis d'experts avec accord fort ont été retenus.
Résultats : Un décollement sur toute la hauteur de la ligne axillaire et supérieur ou égal à 2 cm au niveau du hile à la radiographie thoracique de face définit la grande abondance. La stratégie thérapeutique dépend de la présentation clinique : exsufflation en urgence pour PSP suffocant ; en l'absence de signe de gravité : prise en charge conservatrice (faible abondance), exsufflation ou drainage (grande abondance). Le traitement ambulatoire est possible si organisation en amont de la filière. Les indications, procédures chirurgicales et l'analgésie périopératoire sont détaillées. Les mesures associées, notamment le sevrage tabagique, sont décrites.
Conclusion : Ces recommandations sont une étape de l'optimisation des stratégies de traitement et de suivi des PSP en France.

Abstract
Abstract
Neonatal pneumopericardium, a collection of air in the pericardial sac, is less common form of air leak syndrome, but unfortunately with high mortality rate. We report a rare case of male fullterm newborn who soon after birth presented with respiratory distress. Chest radiograph showed spontaneous bilateral pneumothorax after which a chest drain was placed between anterior and midaxillary line in the 5th right intercostal space. The infant soon presented with tachypnea, dyspnea, muffled heart sounds, acidosis indicating cardiorespiratory worsening. On chest radiograph ‘’Halo” sign appeared indicating pneumopericardium. We believe that spontaneous reposition of a chest drain damaged the pericardial sac which combined with ventilation mechanism (‘’Macklin effect”) most likely led to pneumopericardium. After partial chest drain extraction the infant showed signs of improvement, but had to be closely monitored due to risk of tension pneumopericardium. Careful thoracal drain placement and fixation is crucial to prevent iatrogenic pneumopericardium, which can lead to deadly tension pneumopericardium.

Abstract
Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) including pacemakers (PM), implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD), and cardiac resynchronized therapy (CRT) have become the mainstay of therapy for many cardiac conditions, consequently drawing attention to the risks and benefits of these procedures. Although CIED implantation is usually a safe procedure, pneumothorax remains an important complication and may contribute to increased morbidity, mortality, length of stay, and hospital costs. On the other hand, pneumopericardium and pneumomediastinum are rare but potentially fatal complications. Accordingly, a high degree of awareness about these complications is important. Pneumothorax almost always occurs on the ipsilateral side of implantation. The development of contralateral pneumothorax is uncommon and may be undetected on an initial chest radiograph. Contralateral pneumothorax with concurrent pneumopericardium and pneumomediastinum is much rarer. We describe a rare case of concurrent right-sided pneumothorax with pneumopericardium and pneumomediastinum after left-sided pacemaker implantation and highlight the risk factors, management, and possible ways to prevent the complications.

Hung CS, Chen YC, Yang TF, Huang FH. Systematic review and meta-analysis on juvenile primary spontaneous pneumothorax: Conservative or surgical approach first? PLoS One 2021; 16:e0250929. [PMID: 33930078 PMCID: PMC8087103 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0250929] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2021] [Accepted: 04/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) prevalence is typically higher in juvenile patients than in adults. We aimed to evaluate the optimal treatment for primary spontaneous pneumothorax and its efficacy and safety in juveniles. Materials and methods We searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases for eligible studies published from database inception to October 10, 2020, and conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The primary and secondary outcomes were recurrence rate and hospital stay length, respectively. Odds ratios (OR) and mean differences were used for quantitatively analyzing binary and continuous outcomes, respectively. In total, nine retrospective studies with 1,452 juvenile patients (aged <21) were included for the quantitative analysis. The surgical approach led to a lower recurrence rate than did conservative approaches (OR: 1.95, 95% confidence interval: 1.15–3.32). Moreover, the recurrence rate was low in patients who underwent conservative treatment first and received surgery later. Conclusions Surgical approach for first-line management might have a greater effect on recurrence prevention than do conservative approaches. An upfront surgery might be an optimal choice for juvenile primary spontaneous pneumothorax.

Abstract
Two neonates were presented at the Neonatology Department of the Institute of Child Nutrition and Health in Conakry, Guinea, with tension pneumothoraces as confirmed by chest X-ray. They were initially managed with needle thoracentesis but required continuous thoracic drainage. Due to scarce resources in the public health sector, no prepacked and dedicated pleural drainage systems were available as is the case in many developing countries. Therefore, we fabricated an improvised underwater seal drain out of a plastic infusion bottle and a Heimlich valve out of a vicryl fingerstall. Both devices have shown to be effective. Pneumothorax is a common and potentially life-threatening disease in neonates that often requires prompt treatment. This case series demonstrates how tension pneumothorax in two newborns was successfully managed by improvising different chest drainage systems. The depicted techniques shall serve as an instruction manual to healthcare professionals working in low-resource settings and facing similar challenges.

Abstract
Background Pneumothorax is a common complication of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) procedures. There is a paucity of data on the natural history and management of a CIED-associated pneumothorax. Methods This is a single-centre retrospective study of all consecutive patients with a CIED-associated pneumothorax between March 2010 and March 2020. Pneumothorax size was determined on all chest x-rays after device implantation and before chest tube insertion (if placed). Changes in pneumothorax size on serial chest x-rays were reported. Clinical outcomes in patients with a severe-sized pneumothorax treated with a chest tube were compared with those treated conservatively. Results A total of 86 CIED-associated pneumothoraxes were identified, with 55 (63.9%) patients having a pneumothorax severe in size. Thirty-seven patients with a severe pneumothorax received a chest tube, whereas 18 were managed conservatively. Chest tube use was associated with a higher rate of admission to hospital (100% vs 63%, P = 0.02) for patients undergoing outpatient procedure, longer length of stay (6.3 ± 3.9 vs 2.7 ± 2.9 days, P = 0.04), but fewer chest x-rays (1.9 ± 0.7 vs 4.1 ± 2.5, P = 0.002). Conclusion An initial strategy of conservative management of a CIED-associated pneumothorax in select patients may be feasible and safe.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pneumothorax occurs more frequently in the neonatal period than at any other time of life and is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. It can be treated with either aspiration with a syringe (using a needle or an angiocatheter) or a chest tube inserted in the anterior pleural space and then connected to a Heimlich valve or an underwater seal with continuous suction. OBJECTIVES To compare the efficacy and safety of needle aspiration (either with immediate removal of the needle or with the needle left in situ) to intercostal tube drainage in the management of neonatal pneumothorax (PTX). SEARCH METHODS We used the standard search strategy of Cochrane Neonatal to search the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL 2018, Issue 5), MEDLINE via PubMed (1966 to 4 June 2018), Embase (1980 to 4 June 2018), and CINAHL (1982 to 4 June 2018). We also searched clinical trials databases, conference proceedings, and the reference lists of retrieved articles for randomised controlled trials and quasi-randomised trials. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomised controlled trials, quasi-randomised controlled trials and cluster trials comparing needle aspiration (either with the needle or angiocatheter left in situ or removed immediately after aspiration) to intercostal tube drainage in newborn infants with pneumothorax. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS For each of the included trials, two authors independently extracted data (e.g. number of participants, birth weight, gestational age, kind of needle and chest tube, choice of intercostal space, pressure and device for drainage) and assessed the risk of bias (e.g. adequacy of randomisation, blinding, completeness of follow-up). The primary outcomes considered in this review are mortality during the neonatal period and during hospitalisation.We used the GRADE approach to assess the quality of evidence. MAIN RESULTS Two randomised controlled trials (142 infants) met the inclusion criteria of this review. We found no differences in the rates of mortality when the needle was removed immediately after aspiration (risk ratio (RR) 3.92, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.88 to 17.58; participants = 70; studies = 1) or left in situ (RR 1.50, 95% CI 0.27 to 8.45; participants = 72; studies = 1) or complications related to the procedure. With immediate removal of the needle following aspiration, 30% of the newborns did not require the placement of an intercostal tube drainage. None of the 36 newborns treated with needle aspiration with the angiocatheter left in situ required the placement of an intercostal tube drainage. Overall, the quality of the evidence supporting this finding is very low. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS There is insufficient evidence to establish the efficacy and safety of needle aspiration and intercostal tube drainage in the management of neonatal pneumothorax. The two included trials showed no differences in mortality; however the information size is low. Needle aspiration reduces the need for intercostal tube drainage placement. Limited or no evidence is available on other clinically relevant outcomes.

Abstract
Background Patients with small pneumothoraces are usually treated with oxygen therapy. However, evidence that oxygen therapy increases resolution rate is based on small populations with secondary spontaneous pneumothorax. Therefore, this study aimed to confirm whether oxygen therapy increases the resolution rate of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP). Methods We retrospectively reviewed records of patients with PSP who had undergone outpatient observation (room air group) and those who were admitted for oxygen therapy (O2 group) between March 2005 and February 2016. The initial chest posteroanterior (PA) radiograph was compared with the last chest PA radiograph before the pneumothorax disappeared. The size of the pneumothorax was measured using the Collins' method. Results A total of 175 episodes were identified in 160 patients. Of these, 128 episodes (73.1%) occurred in patients in the O2 group. The mean age was 19.24±4.74 years. The mean initial size of the pneumothorax was smaller in the room air group (23.32%±7.00% vs. 20.26%±6.78%, P=0.011). The resolution rate was higher in the O2 group [(4.27%±1.97%) vs. (2.06%±0.97%)/day, P<0.001]. The initial size of the pneumothorax, time interval between radiographs, and use of oxygen therapy were significantly associated with the resolution rate in multivariate analysis. Conclusions Oxygen therapy increases the resolution rate of PSP. However, routine use of oxygen therapy in patients with small pneumothoraces should be considered more carefully. Well-controlled prospective studies are required to confirm the indication of oxygen therapy.

Abstract
KEY POINTS Respiratory distress is a common presenting feature among newborn infants.Prompt investigation to ascertain the underlying diagnosis and appropriate subsequent management is important to improve outcomes.Many of the underlying causes of respiratory distress in a newborn are unique to this age group.A chest radiograph is crucial to assist in diagnosis of an underlying cause. EDUCATIONAL AIMS To inform readers of the common respiratory problems encountered in neonatology and the evidence-based management of these conditions.To enable readers to develop a framework for diagnosis of an infant with respiratory distress. The first hours and days of life are of crucial importance for the newborn infant as the infant adapts to the extra-uterine environment. The newborn infant is vulnerable to a range of respiratory diseases, many unique to this period of early life as the developing fluid-filled fetal lungs adapt to the extrauterine environment. The clinical signs of respiratory distress are important to recognise and further investigate, to identify the underlying cause. The epidemiology, diagnostic features and management of common neonatal respiratory conditions are covered in this review article aimed at all healthcare professionals who come into contact with newborn infants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pneumothorax occurs more frequently in the neonatal period than at any other time of life and is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. It may be treated with either needle aspiration or insertion of a chest tube. The former consists of aspiration of air with a syringe through a needle or an angiocatheter, usually through the second or third intercostal space in the midclavicular line. The chest tube is usually placed in the anterior pleural space passing through the sixth intercostal space into the pleural opening, turned anteriorly and directed to the location of the pneumothorax, and then connected to a Heimlich valve or an underwater seal with continuous suction. OBJECTIVES To compare the efficacy and safety of needle aspiration and intercostal tube drainage in the management of neonatal pneumothorax. SEARCH METHODS We used the standard search strategy of the Cochrane Neonatal Review group to search the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL 2015, Issue 11), MEDLINE via PubMed (1966 to 30 November 2015), EMBASE (1980 to 30 November 2015), and CINAHL (1982 to 30 November 2015). We also searched clinical trials databases, conference proceedings, and the reference lists of retrieved articles for randomised controlled trials and quasi-randomised trials. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomised controlled trials, quasi-randomised controlled trials and cluster trials comparing needle aspiration (either with the needle or angiocatheter left in situ or removed immediately after aspiration) to intercostal tube drainage in newborn infants with pneumothorax. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS For each of the included trial, two authors independently extracted data (e.g. number of participants, birth weight, gestational age, kind of needle and chest tube, choice of intercostal space, pressure and device for drainage) and assessed the risk of bias (e.g. adequacy of randomisation, blinding, completeness of follow-up). The primary outcomes considered in this review are mortality during the neonatal period and during hospitalisation. MAIN RESULTS One randomised controlled trial (72 infants) met the inclusion criteria of this review. We found no differences in the rates of mortality (risk ratio (RR) 1.50, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.27 to 8.45) or complications related to the procedure. After needle aspiration, the angiocatheter was left in situ (mean 27.1 hours) and not removed immediately after the aspiration. The angiocatheter was in place for a shorter duration than the intercostal tube (mean difference (MD) -11.20 hours, 95% CI -15.51 to -6.89). None of the 36 newborns treated with needle aspiration with the angiocatheter left in situ required the placement of an intercostal tube drainage. Overall, the quality of the evidence supporting this finding is low. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS At present there is insufficient evidence to determine the efficacy and safety of needle aspiration versus intercostal tube drainage in the management of neonatal pneumothorax. Randomised controlled trials comparing the two techniques are warranted.

Impact of oxygen concentration on time to resolution of spontaneous pneumothorax in term infants: a population based cohort study. BMC Pediatr 2014; 14:208. [PMID: 25149271 PMCID: PMC4144685 DOI: 10.1186/1471-2431-14-208] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2014] [Accepted: 08/18/2014] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Little evidence exists regarding the optimal concentration of oxygen to use in the treatment of term neonates with spontaneous pneumothorax (SP). The practice of using high oxygen concentrations to promote “nitrogen washout” still exists at many centers. The aim of this study was to identify the time to clinical resolution of SP in term neonates treated with high oxygen concentrations (HO: FiO2 ≥ 60%), moderate oxygen concentrations (MO: FiO2 < 60%) or room air (RA: FiO2 = 21%). Methods A population based cohort study that included all term neonates with radiologically confirmed spontaneous pneumothorax admitted to all neonatal intensive care units in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, within 72 hours of birth between 2006 and 2010. Newborns with congenital and chromosomal anomalies, meconium aspiration, respiratory distress syndrome, and transient tachypnea of newborn, pneumonia, tension pneumothorax requiring thoracocentesis or chest tube drainage or mechanical ventilation before the diagnosis of pneumothorax were excluded. The primary outcome was time to clinical resolution (hours) of SP. A Cox proportional hazards model was developed to assess differences in time to resolution of SP between treatment groups. Results Neonates were classified into three groups based on the treatment received: HO (n = 27), MO (n = 35) and RA (n = 30). There was no significant difference in time to resolution of SP between the three groups, median (range 25th-75th percentile) for HO = 12 hr (8–27), MO = 12 hr (5–24) and RA = 11 hr (4–24) (p = 0.50). A significant difference in time to resolution of SP was also not observed after adjusting for inhaled oxygen concentration [MO (a HR = 1.13, 95% CI 0.54-2.37); RA (a HR = 1.19, 95% CI 0.69-2.05)], gender (a HR = 0.87, 95% CI 0.53-1.43) and ACoRN respiratory score (a HR = 0.7, 95% CI 0.41-1.34). Conclusions Supplemental oxygen use or nitrogen washout was not associated with faster resolution of SP. Infants treated with room air remained stable and did not require supplemental oxygen at any point of their admission.
