Manejo del Neumotórax Espontáneo Primario en Niños

Topic overview

Análisis retrospectivo de protocolo institucional para neumotórax espontáneo primario en pacientes pediátricos (12-18 años). La aspiración simple tuvo éxito en 33% de casos, mientras 66% requirió VATS. VATS temprana reduce estancia hospitalaria y recurrencia comparado con aspiración.

Key takeaways

Simple aspiration succeeded in only 33% of pediatric primary spontaneous pneumothorax cases; 66% required VATS.
Early VATS reduced hospital stay to 3.1 days vs 6.0 days for chest tube after failed aspiration.
Recurrence after aspiration was 45% vs 25% after VATS, occurring much earlier (17 days vs 390 days).
VATS as early definitive treatment reduces morbidity and hospital length of stay in pediatric PSP.
Aspiration remains safe initial approach, but low success rate supports early surgical intervention consideration.
