Primary Prevention

  • Effective measures for the primary prevention of pneumothorax include:
    • Wearing safety seat belts while driving
    • Passive restraint devices should be used
    • While cannulating the subclavian vein, infraclavicualr approach should be preferred to avoid tension pneumothorax.
    • All the surgical procedures that can rupture pleura such as transbronchial and transthoracic should be performed under ultrasound guidance.
