Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this trial is to study the role of small bore chest drains in draining traumatic hemothorax and pneumothorax.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The precise role of small bore chest drains in treating post traumatic pleural collections, especially hemothorax is not well established. This trial is conducted to study the efficacy and safety profile of small bore chest drains in trauma patients with hemothorax and pneumothorax.
