Abstract

The article discusses treatment options for primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) and recommends observation as the first-line therapy in appropriately selected patients due to its high utility and low cost. It discusses that observation had comparable outcomes to other interventions like chest tube placement and aspiration; making it a safe and effective choice for managing PSP; and also reducing complications and healthcare costs.
