Background: Pneumothorax management is a common clinical condition in the emergency department (ED) occurring in patients of varying ages and caused by multiple etiologies, including spontaneous, traumatic, and iatrogenic pneumothorax. Regardless of the cause, a thoracostomy is often required for treatment (Currie 2007 ). Traditionally, all pneumothoraces were treated with large bore chest tubes (LBCT) defined as any tube > 14 F.
