Randomized clinical trial of pigtail catheter versus chest tube in injured patients with uncomplicated traumatic pneumothorax

Small pigtail catheters appear to work as well as the traditional large‐bore chest tubes in patients with traumatic pneumothorax, but it is not known whether the smaller pigtail catheters are associated with less tube‐site pain. This study was conducted to compare tube‐site pain following pigtail catheter or chest tube insertion in patients with uncomplicated traumatic pneumothorax.
