Treatment of Spontaneous Pneumothorax with Kaolin

G. H. C. JOYNT M.D., F.R.C.S.1 and R. C. LAIRD M.D., F.C.C.P., F.R.C.S.

1 Toronto Western Hospital.

Treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax by pleurodesis with kaolin suspension has been employed in 26 patients. Obliterative pleuritis appears to reach a maximum at the end of three months, and obliteration of the pleural space was achieved in the first attempt in 62 per cent of the cases. Although there is an appreciable morbidity, this method would appear to be effective and efficient.
