Abstract

Background: This retrospective study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of the 8-French (Fr) catheter ($Pleuracan^{(R)}$) for the initial treatment of primary spontaneous pneumothorax. Material and Method: Between July 2004 and July 2006, 59 patients (72 cases) underwent a closed thoracostomy for primary spontaneous pneumothorax. We divided these patients into two groups: group T (large bore (>20 Fr) chest tube group) and group P ($Pleuracan^{(R)}$ group). Result: Initially, the $Pleuracan^{(R)}$ catheters were inserted in 41 cases. There were four catheter malfunctions (9.8%) : three cases had a subsequent closed thoracostomy with a large bore chest tube. Ultimately, there were 34 cases in group T and 38 cases in group P. There were no significant differences in indwelling catheter time ($T:\;2.1{\pm}1.5\;days,\;P:\;2.1{\pm}1.3\;days$), hospital stay ($T:\;6.4{\pm}5.4\;days,\;P:\;5.2{\pm}2.9\;days$) and complications (T: 3%, P: 0%) between the two groups. The percentage of cases that needed intravenous analgesics in group P was 60% (23/38); this was significantly lower than the number for group T (90%, 31/34) (p=0.003). In a subgroup of patients that did not undergo bullectomy(T: 17 cases, P: 19 cases), there were no significant differences in the duration of air leakage ($T:\;0.5{\pm}0.7\;days,\;P:\;0.5{\pm}1.2\;days$) and in the percentage of patients with complete lung re-expansion (T: 94%, P: 84%) between the two groups. Conclusion: Application of the $Pleuracan^{(R)}$ catheter for the initial treatment of primary spontaneous pneumothorax was as effective as the large bore chest tube.

배경: 이 연구에서는 원발성 자연기흉 환자의 초 치료를 위해, 본 교실에서 2005년부터 사용하기 시작한 상품화된 8 Fr 흉부 배액 도관($Pleuracan^{(R)}$)의 효용성에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2004년 7월부터 2006년 7월까지 원발성 자연기흉으로 진단받고 흉관 삽입술을 시행한 환자 59명(72 예)을 대상으로 하였으며, 20 Fr 이상의 흉관을 사용한 군(Tube군, T군)과 $Pleuracan^{(R)}$을 사용한 군($Pleuracan^{(R)}$군, P군)으로 나누어 그 임상 경과를 후향적으로 비교하였다. 결과: 총 41예에서 $Pleuracan^{(R)}$을 삽입하였으나, 9.8% (4/41)에서 도관 기능 장애가 나타났고, 이 중 3예에서는 20 Fr이상의 흉관을 삽입하였다. 따라서 최종적으로 T군은 34예, P군은 38예였다. 두 군 사이에 흉관 거치 기간(T군: $2.1{\pm}1.5$일, P군: $2.1{\pm}1.3$일), 재원 일수(T군: $6.4{\pm}5.4$일, P군: $5.2{\pm}2.9$일), 합병증(T군: 3% (1/34, 출혈), P군: 0%) 등에는 유의한 차이가 없었으나, 정주용 진통제 사용 환자는 P군이 60% (23/38)로 91%(31/34)인 T군에 비해 유의하게 적었다(p=0.003). 수술 얼이 흉관 삽입만으로 치료한 36예(T군: 17예, P군: 19예)만을 분석하였을 때도 동일한 결과를 얻었으며, 이 환자들에 있어 공기 누출 기간은 T군이 $0.5{\pm}0.7$일, p군이 $0.5{\pm}1.2$일로 차이가 없었고, P군의 84% (16/19)에서 폐의 재팽창을 얻어 94% (16/17)의 T군과 비교하여 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결론: $Pleuracan^{(R)}$은 20 Fr 이상의 흉관과 비교하여 그 효용성에 차이가 없어, 원발성 자연기흉의 초 치료에 사용될 수 있다고 생각한다.
