Many neonates with pneumothorax are transported without ICC, with low incidence of deterioration and ICC insertion within 24 hours after transport. More than a third of neonates managed with NA avoided ICC insertion. The likelihood of ICC insertion is increased by lower GA, MV prior to retrieval team arrival and radiographical MS.
