True regarding management of traumatic pneumothorax is:

Traumatic Pneumothorax: Traumatic pneumothorax can result from penetrating and non-penetrating chest trauma. Traumatic pneumothoraxes should be treated with tube thoracostomy unless they are small. Iatrogenic pneumothorax is a type of traumatic pneumothorax that is becoming more common. Leading causes are transthoracic needle aspiration, thoracocentesis, and the inseion of central intravenous catheters. Most can be managed with supplemental oxygen or aspiration, but if these measures are unsuccessful, a tube thoracostomy should be performed. Ref: bailey 27th edition Pgno: 366
