@M C Fadous Khalife I tend to agree, but in infants on non-invasive ventilation or in cases with no support at all but with resp distress and the x-ray shows pneumo, I have good experience.

In those "lighter" cases, needle thoracocentesis is def something reducing thoracic drains, in my experience
