Overview
Effective measures for the primary prevention of pneumothorax include preventive measures during driving such as wearing seat belts and performing invasive procedures involving pleura under ultrasound guidance to prevent pleural damage.
Primary Prevention
Effective measures for the primary prevention of pneumothorax include:[1][2]
- Wearing safety seat belts while driving.
- Passive restraint devices should be used while driving.[3]
- While cannulating the subclavian vein, infraclavicular approach should be preferred to avoid tension pneumothorax.[4][5][6]
- All the surgical procedures that can rupture pleura such as transbronchial and transthoracic interventions should be performed under ultrasound guidance.
