This is valuable commentary, thank you.
I am team chest wall pigtails FTW except sometimes.
I hope some more data comes out re: 14Fr pigtails in trauma.

Sadly this is not applicable to any setting where finances are limited: seldinger pigtail kits are vastly more expensive whereas chest tubes are dirt cheap and will always work like a charm.
