Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews Protocol - Intervention
Simple aspiration versus intercostal tube drainage for primary spontaneous pneumothorax in adults
Abstract
This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows:
-
To identify and evaluate all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing simple aspiration and intercostal tube drainage in the management of PSP;
-
To establish whether simple aspiration is equally as effective and safe as intercostal tube drainage in the management of PSP.
