Clinical Trial Summary

The objectives of this study are to determine the efficacy of tamsulosin compared to placebo in reducing post-operative urinary retention and improving other clinical outcomes in people undergoing pulmonary surgery.

Description:

This study will evaluate the effectiveness of providing preoperative tamsulosin as prophylaxis against postoperative urinary retention after thoracic surgery. Participants will initiate prophylaxis 3 days prior to their study date and continue for 2 days postoperatively. This will be a placebo controlled double masked randomized trial. The primary outcome being evaluated is development of urinary retention; defined as required urinary catheterization. Secondary outcomes will include rate of straight catheterizations, indwelling catheterizations and time to catheterization.
