To the Editor:
We read with great interest the article by Schneider and colleagues [1]. We would like to congratulate the authors for this interesting article. However, a few points should be discussed.
The authors recommended surgery when: (1) mechanical ventilation was not possible, (2) subcutaneous or mediastinal emphysema was progressive, (3) there was an open perforation into the pleural cavity, and (4) an endobronchial tube could not be placed beyond the laceration [1].
