abstract = "The rate of occult pneumothorax in intubated and mechanically ventilated trauma patients until initial computed tomography (CT) remains undetermined. The primary aims of this study were to analyze initial chest CTs with respect to the thoracic pathology of trauma, the clinical injury severity, and chest tube placement (CTP) before and after CT. In a single-center retrospective analysis of 616 intubated and mechanically ventilated adult patients admitted directly from the scene to the emergency department (ED), 224 underwent CTP (36%). Of these, 142 patients (62%) underwent CTP before CT, of which, 125 (88%) had significant chest injury on CT. Seventeen patients had minor or absent chest injuries, most of which were associated with transient or unrecognized tracheal tube malposition. After CT, CTP was performed in another 82 patients, of which, 56 (68.3%) had relevant pneumothorax and 26 had minor findings on CT. Sixty patients who had already undergone CTP before CT received another CTP after CT, of which, 15 (25%) had relevant pneumothorax and 45 (75%) had functionality issues or malposition requiring replacement. Nine patients showed small pneumothorax on CT, and did not undergo CTP (including four patients with CTP before CT). The physiological variables were unspecific, and the trauma scores were dependent on the CT findings for identifying patients at risk for CTP. In conclusion, the clinical decisions for CTP before CT are associated with relevant false-negative and false-positive cases. Clinical assessment and CT imaging, together, are important indicators for CTP decisions that cannot be achieved by using clinical assessment or CT alone.",
