Abstract:

 Background: Chest injury is a significant concern in trauma care, occurring in over 10% of all trauma admissions. These injuries vary in severity from minor rib fractures to life-threatening conditions like cardiac or tracheobronchial disruptions. AIM: Evaluation of outcome following chest tube removal with phase of respiration in chest trauma patients. Methodology: The proposed study is a prospective cross-sectional study conducted in the Department of Surgery at Sardar Patel Medical College and Associated Group of Hospitals (AGH), Bikaner. Result: In the present study, the overall incidence of recurrent pneumothorax (RP) following chest tube removal was 6.3%, with no statistically significant difference between end-expiration (EE) and end-inspiration (EI) groups (p > 0.05). RP was slightly more frequent in the EI group (8.0%) compared to the EE group (4.8%). Conclusion: Chest tube removal at end expiration may lead to lower incidence of recurrent pneumothorax, but larger studies are needed to confirm this finding.
