This audit suggests that clinical practice in the management of spontaneous pneumothorax differs from guidelines issued by the British Thoracic Society. In particular simple aspiration was attempted in only seven out of 65 patients and clamping of an intercostal chest drain occurred in 12 out of 50 cases. Junior medical staff require more training in intercostal drainage.
本次审计表明，自发性气胸的临床治疗实践与英国胸科学会发布的指南有所不同。特别是，65名患者中仅有7人尝试了单纯抽气，50例中有12例出现了肋间胸腔引流管夹闭的情况。初级医务人员需要接受更多关于肋间引流的培训。
