Do All Patients With Traumatic Pneumothoracosis Require Antibiotics?
In 2012, the East put out its own recommendations and they haven't updated it since. The conclusion of their guidelines was that there was insufficient evidence to make a recommendation either in favor or against antibiotics. At my hospital, we're not doing it. And I don't see this changing anytime soon. Now, the one thing that I can't really speak is what the implications are of this antibiotic stewardship? It's just one dose,. I couldn't find any data on that. Is it really going to cause harm?"
