Factors associated with survival in dogs and cats with pneumothorax
Abstract
The records of 105 dogs and cats with pneumothorax were evaluated for demographic and clinical variables associated with prognosis. Twenty-one animals were euthanatized, and 84 were treated for their injuries. Eighty-six percent of those treated survived. Factors that predicted survival were absence of dyspnea, lack of need for thoracocentesis, and an ICU stay of longer than 2 days.
