NCT ID: NCT04098185 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Hemothorax; Traumatic

Role of Pleural Fluid Attenuation Value on CT as a Diagnostic Tool in Traumatic Hemothorax

Start date: December 1, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

To define the potential role of pleural fluid attenuation value determined on computed tomography (CT) for diagnosis of traumatic hemothorax and differentiate it from other pleural effusion.

NCT ID: NCT04006587 Completed - Rib Fractures Clinical Trials

IS Reduces Rib Fracture Complications

Start date: June 1, 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The incentive spirometer (IS) is a mechanical device that helps lung expansion. It is commonly used to prevent postoperative lung atelectasis and decreased pulmonary complications in patients who received cardiac, lung, or abdomen surgery.This study aimed to explore the effect of the IS on the improvement of lung function and decrease in pulmonary complication rate in rib fractures patients.

VATS Evacuation Compared to Reinsertion of Thoracostomy Tube in Persistent Traumatic Haemothorax

Start date: July 1, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This is prospective, randomized study comparing VATS (video- Assisted Thoracoscopy) to reinsertion of a thoracostomy tube in patients with persistent traumatic haemothorax. The incidence varies and can be as high as 20%, but in most studies is found to be 1-4% after initial tube thoracostomy for chest trauma. The most accepted complication of retained hemothorax is empyema.Retained hemothorax treatment started by physiotherapy and early withdrawal of tube thoracostomy which lead to more complications as empyema, fibro thorax/entrapped lung, flail chest and diaphragmatic hernia. Early VATS is an alternative treatment for retained hemothorax with evidence that it is a superior intervention when compared to a second tube thoracostomy.
