Removal of thoracic drainage after thoracic surgical minor procedures immediately following the operation
Descrizione riassuntiva dello studio
The management of thoracic drainage after thoracic procedures is a key element of postoperative care. Over the last decade, minimally invasive techniques and standardized treatment pathways (keyword 'ERAS' (enhanced recovery after surgery)) have significantly altered the recovery phase after lung procedures, leading to a reduction in postoperative complications and an increase in quality of life. Thoracic drainage remains a significant issue as it contributes to postoperative pain and worsens lung function. Therefore, there is increased interest in earlier removal of thoracic drains, not only for economic reasons but also for improved quality of life and potential reduction of postoperative complications. Meanwhile, improved drainage systems have been developed that allow for more precise quantification and contribute to increased decision-making certainty regarding drainage removal. Nevertheless, drainage remains in current practice until at least the first day after surgery, even in the absence of indications of incomplete lung or chest wall healing (absence of air leakage or increased or bloody fluid secretion) and limits the patient's mobility and well-being during this time. In this study, we investigate the safety of removing thoracic drainage immediately after surgery in the absence of reasons for inadequate lung or tissue healing (no air leakage and no increased or bloody drainage quality) based on a protocol with the electronic drainage system.

Intervento studiato
Removal of thoracic drainage after thoracic surgical minor procedures such as extra-anatomical lung resections and biopsies of the pleura immediately following the operation
(BASEC)
Malattie studiate
For complete re-expansion of the lung and for drainage of excessive fluid, after minimally invasive (thoracoscopy) and open lung procedures, as well as other procedures in the thoracic cavity, one or more thoracic drains ('chest drain') are inserted before closing the wounds. The removal of these drains has so far been decided in the further course after surgery according to, for example, the air-tightness of the lung and the amount of drained fluid.

Criteri di esclusione
