Dogs with pleural effusion, pneumonia, migrating foreign body, lung abscess, spontaneous pneumothorax, or lung lobe torsion were excluded. Short\u2010term outcome factors up were compared up to the time of death, euthanasia, or discharge from the hospital.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>One hundred and thirty\u2010four dogs met the inclusion criteria. Forty\u2010one (31%) dogs underwent MS and 93 dogs (69%) underwent ICT. Fluid production from the chest tube (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.0061), alveolar arterial pressure gradient (<jats:italic>P =<\/jats:italic>.0001), and complications requiring intervention (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.0245) were more common in the MS group than the ICT group. Pain management and all other short\u2010term outcome factors did not differ between procedures.

However, since no other short\u2010term measure of outcome differed, we can state that both MS and ICT are well tolerated by dogs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/vsu.12741","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,10]],"date-time":"2017-11-10T13:52:38Z","timestamp":1510321958000},"page":"104-113","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Median
