A Initial treatment algorithm of iatrogenic pneumothorax. Needle aspiration: vacuum bottle plus catheter drainage. *Decision was made by shared decision making. Conservative treatment: oxygenation. B Flow chart of subject recruitment process for this study. *Transient air leak denotes no further enlargement of pneumothorax after vacuum bottle assisted aspiration or oxygenation only; Persistent air leak represents that pneumothorax enlarged either after initial management or need further intervention
