Doctors test if chest pressure predicts recovery from collapsed lung
NCT ID NCT04630301
Summary
This study aimed to understand if measuring the pressure inside the chest of patients with a collapsed lung (pneumothorax) could help predict their recovery. Researchers measured this pressure in 37 adults as they received standard treatment with a chest tube. They then tracked whether patients later needed more invasive procedures, hoping to find a link between the initial pressure and the need for further care.
