NCT00556335

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of manual aspiration in comparison to conventional chest tube drainage in pneumothorax therapy:

  1. 1.whether manual aspiration will shorten hospital admission.
  2. 2.whether the lung will expand by means of clinical and radiological findings.
