Tension pneumothorax (tPTX) remains a major cause of preventable death in trauma. Needle decompression (ND) has up to a 60% failure rate.
Post-mortem swine used. Interventions were randomized to 14G-needle decompression (ND, n = 25), bladed trocar with 36Fr cannula (BTW, n = 16), bladed trocar alone (BTWO, n = 16) and surgical thoracostomy (ST = 11). Simulated tPTX was created to a pressure(p) of 20 mmHg.
Success (p < 5 mmHg by 120 s) was seen in 41 of 68 (60%) interventions. BTW and BTWO were consistently more successful than ND with success rates of 88% versus 48% in ND (p < .001). In successful deployments, ND was slower to reach p < 5 mmHg, average of 82s versus 26s and 28s for BTW and BTWO respectively (p < .001). Time to implement procedure was faster for ND with an average of 3.6s versus 16.9s and 15.3s in the BTW and BTWO (p < .001). Final pressure was significantly less in BTW and BTWO at 1.7 mmHg versus 7 mmHg in ND animals (p < .001).
Bladed trocars can safely and effectively tPTX with a significantly higher success rates than needle decompression.
张力性气胸(tPTX)仍然是创伤患者可预防死亡的主要原因。针式减压(ND)的失败率高达 60%。
使用死后猪。干预措施随机分为 14G 针减压(ND,n=25)、带 36Fr 套管的刀片式穿刺器(BTW,n=16)、刀片式穿刺器单独使用(BTWO,n=16)和开胸手术(ST=11)。模拟 tPTX 至压力(p)为 20mmHg。
在 68 次干预中有 41 次(60%)成功。BTW 和 BTWO 比 ND 更成功,成功率分别为 88%和 48%(p<.001)。在成功的部署中,ND 达到 p<.001 的速度较慢,平均为 82s,而 BTW 和 BTWO 分别为 26s 和 28s。ND 实施程序的时间更快,平均为 3.6s,而 BTW 和 BTWO 分别为 16.9s 和 15.3s(p<.001)。BTW 和 BTWO 的最终压力明显低于 ND 动物的 7mmHg,分别为 1.7mmHg(p<.001)。
刀片式穿刺器可安全有效地治疗张力性气胸,成功率明显高于针式减压。
