Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates the viability and safety of two-lumen catheterization versus complete omission of chest tube in patients with lung wedge resection. Half of participants will receive complete omission of chest tube, while the other half will receive a two-lumen central venous catheterization along the midclavicular line, second intercostal space for remedial gas-remove.


Clinical Trial Description

With the development of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) techniques, minimally invasive thoracic surgery has evolved considerably over the last three decades. The concept of "tubeless" involves non-intubated anesthesia with spontaneous ventilation and no chest tube placement. Chest tube placement always causes pain, and its duration is known to be one of the most important factors influencing hospital stay and costs. Early tube removal allows patients to breathe deeply with less pain, which leads to more compliance with chest physiotherapy, as demonstrated by a concomitant improvement in patients' ventilatory function. Hence, more and more experienced surgeons choose the omission of chest tube placement after lung wedge resection. However, based on previous retrospective studies, residual pneumothorax was noted in about 10% cases, and some of them need re-intervention. Hence, the investigators designed a intra-operative two-lumen catheterization as improved drainage strategy. Therefore, this study evaluates the viability and safety of two-lumen catheterization versus omission of chest tube placement in patients with lung wedge resection. ;
