Between January 1977 and December 1978, 24 patients with recurrent or chronic spontaneous pneumothorax were treated in the Hong Kong University Cardiothoracic Centre at Grantham Hospital by talc pleurodesis. Talc poudrage had been carried out under local infiltration anesthesia by a technique that utilizes the Venturi principle and the help of an oxygen injector, used normally for ventilating a patient during bronchoscopy with a rigid bronchoscope. By using this method of poudrage, a uniform application of the powder over the whole pleural surface can be achieved and successful pleurodesis can be obtained in all patients under local anesthesia.
1977年1月至1978年12月期间，香港大学葛量洪医院心胸中心对24例复发性或慢性自发性气胸患者进行了滑石粉胸膜固定术治疗。滑石粉喷洒是在局部浸润麻醉下，采用一种利用文丘里原理并借助氧气注射器的技术进行的，该氧气注射器通常用于在使用硬支气管镜进行支气管镜检查时为患者通气。通过使用这种喷洒方法，可以在整个胸膜表面均匀地涂抹粉末，并且在局部麻醉下所有患者均可成功实现胸膜固定。
