In 62 consecutive cases of pneumothorax, suction treatment was applied by a new method using a recently-developed vacuum pump (Pleupump) allowing the quantification of the volume of air through the chest drain. The previous 62 cases of pneumothorax treated with standard suction equipment were used as a control group. The new technique resulted in a statistically significant reduction in the mean suction treatment time from 8.1 to 4.8 days in patients with spontaneous pneumothorax. The mean total number of days in hospital was reduced from 10.0 to 6.5. This was accomplished without an increase in the number of complications or recurrences of the pneumothorax.
在62例连续性气胸病例中，采用一种新方法进行抽气治疗，该方法使用最近研发的真空泵（胸腔抽气泵），可通过胸腔引流管对空气量进行量化。将先前用标准抽气设备治疗的62例气胸病例作为对照组。新技术使自发性气胸患者的平均抽气治疗时间从8.1天显著缩短至4.8天。平均住院总天数从10.0天减少至6.5天。且气胸并发症或复发数量未增加的情况下实现了这一效果。
