“…We found that aspiration was successful in 52% of episodes, which is at the lower end of that quoted in adults (50–83%),17 18 in whom aspiration is considered less invasive, more cost-effective and associated with fewer complications 19. Choice of intervention was not influenced by PSP size.…”

“…(5) The data abstractors were not blinded to the study's purpose, but we did follow guidelines for chart review 14. (6) Aspiration success was based on avoidance of subsequent ICC and any improvement in pneumothorax size 19. These criteria can lead to an overestimation of success.…”

“…As a clinical technique, needle aspiration was simple, effective, and acceptable to patients (37,38). Irrespective of the size of pneumothorax, number of previous episodes, or whether the current condition was considered primary or secondary, needle aspiration would be recommended as an initial treatment for all spontaneous pneumothorax when intervention was necessary (39,40).…”

“…There is now sufficient evidence coming from eight papers [48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55] and three meta-analyses and reviews [56,57,58] that simple manual aspiration should be the first-line treatment approach in these PSP patients (table 2). Success rates vary between 50 and 80% of cases, averaging two thirds of cases.…”
