Can neonatal pneumothorax be successfully managed in regional Australia?

CONCLUSION: Neonatal pneumothorax is effectively managed in the regional hospitals studied in keeping with contributions of regional paediatricians and rural generalists. Compared with unilateral pneumothorax, bilateral pneumothorax or pneumomediastinum were associated with transfer to tertiary centre. There were no clear predictors for bilateral pneumothorax.
