Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To establish the benefits of chest tube use with negative pleural suction compared with the underwater seal drainage system in patients with thoracic trauma.  Outcomes will be accessed clinically and radiologically every 24 hourly.  
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1. To study the incidence of complications, such as persistent air leak, coagulated hemothorax, empyema, recurrent pneumothorax.
2.To study the length of hospitalization
3.To study the need for additional surgeries (new chest tube, thoracostomy, or thoracotomy).
 
Outcomes will be accessed every 24 hourly

Brief Summary   Thoracic trauma affects approximately 60% of patients with multiple injuries and is responsible for 20% to 25% of trauma-related deaths.
     Types of thoracic trauma:-
      1. hemopneumothorax (52.3%), most common
      2. hemothorax (23.4%) and
      3. pneumothorax (20-20.7%)
For most of the patients of thoracic trauma requires only the placement of a chest tube connected to a underwater seal drainage system
Downside of ICD:- despite of ICD, complication such as persistent air leak, clotted hemothorax, and empyema.
These complications increase morbidity, the need for more complex surgeries, hospital stay, and health-related costs.
Low pressure negative pleural suction:- For inducing pleural attachment and promoting the quick closing of air leaks and hemothorax drainage.
