Clinical Profile, Etiological Factors and Treatment Outcome in Patients of Spontanous Pnuemothorax
Abstract: Background: Pneumothorax is a life-threatening condition, so studying its etiology, clinical profile and treatment outcome is significant for better patient care. Objectives: To study clinical profile and etiological factors of spontaneous pneumothorax. To study the treatment outcome of spontaneous pneumothorax. Material and Methods: A prospective observational study was carried out on diagnosed spontaneous pneumothorax at Respiratory medicine department, SMIMER over 15 months and data analysis conducted over 3 months. Results: SP showed bimodal age distribution where first peak was between 21-30 years and second peak was between 41-50 years. Male-female ratio for SP were 4.7:1, mean height, weight, BMI for spontaneous pneumothorax was 160.6 cm, 52.6 kg, 19.9 Wt/ ht2 respectively.10% of total cases had p/h/o pulmonary koch's. most common symptom was breathlessness followed by chest pain. all 70 cases had sharp chest pain.14(17.5%) cases had no any known etiology (PSP). Other 66(83.5%) cases had known etiology (SSP). Among SSP, 32(40%) cases had Pulmonary Koch's. 18(22.5%) cases had COPD 36(45%) cases had pneumothorax between 51-75%, (30%) cases had not any additional chest X-ray findings as these were cases of PSP. 24(30%) cases showed cavity, majority of cases [71(88.75%)] were effectively managed by ICDT. 86.25% cases show complete resolution. Conclusion: Pneumothorax is a life-threatening condition, so studying its etiology, clinical profile and treatment outcome is significant for better patient care.
