Objective To investigate the effects of two different oxygen therapies (oxygen time<4 h/d, oxygen flow>6 L/min versus oxygen time>4 h/d, oxygen flow<6 L/min) on conservative treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax by meta-analysis.Methods The following electronic databases as PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, WanFang Database and China National Knowledge Database were retrieved on computer for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of comparing two different oxygen therapies (oxygen time<4 h/d, oxygen flow>6 L/min versus oxygen time>4 h/d, oxygen flow<6 L/min) on conservative treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax. The retrieval time was from inception of each database to December 2017. Two reviewers independently screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data, and assessed the methodological quality of the included studies. Then data were analyzed by RevMan 5.3 software.Results A total of 4 RCTs involving 226 patients were included. The meta-analysis showed that compared with lower oxygen flow (oxygen time>4 h/d, oxygen flow<6 L/min), the higher oxygen flow (oxygen time<4 h/d, oxygen flow>6 L/min) could obviously decrease the degree of pulmonary compression after oxygen therapy for 5 days (MD=–2.81, 95%CI –4.18 to –1.44, P<0.05), shorten duration of hospital stay (MD=–3.26, 95%CI –6.05 to –0.47, P<0.05) and duration of recruitment maneuvers (MD=–2.78, 95%CI –5.27 to –0.28, P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in oxygen partial pressure after oxygen therapy for 5 days (MD=10.68, 95%CI –7.03 to 28.39, P=0.24).Conclusion The higher oxygen flow (oxygen time<4 h/d, oxygen flow>6 L/min) can obviously decrease the degree of pulmonary compression after oxygen therapy for 5 days, shorten duration of hospital stay and duration of recruitment maneuvers, but the results are influenced by the number and quality of RCT.
