Spontaneous pneumothorax is rare among Nigerians, but our experience with olive oil confirms its advantages as a good agent for chemical pleurodesis. Clinical and supporting experimental data from rabbits are presented. In high risk patients with poor respiratory reserve, including some who have bronchopleural fistulas and are unfit for surgery, chemical pleurodesis offers an alternative method for maintaining reexpansion and preventing recurrence.
自发性气胸在尼日利亚人中很少见，但我们使用橄榄油的经验证实了它作为化学性胸膜固定术的良好药物的优势。本文展示了来自兔子的临床及辅助实验数据。对于呼吸储备功能差的高危患者，包括一些患有支气管胸膜瘘且不适于手术的患者，化学性胸膜固定术提供了一种维持肺复张和预防复发的替代方法。
