Role of Chest Ultrasound in Detection of Post-operative Pulmonary

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

- assess feasibility of detecting pulmonary complications postoperative using chest ultrasound compared to chest x-ray

- measure time lag between using ultrasound and using chest x-ray to detect pulmonary complications postoperative

Clinical Trial Description

It is well known that cardiothoracic surgery causes different types of pulmonary complications like residual pleural effusion and pneumothorax therefore it is common that surgeons make a thoracic drainage by introducing intercostal tubes for evacuation of air and fluid from the pleural space. Complications extend to involve the parenchymal pulmonary tissue causing consolidation or involve the interstitial tissue .all these complications affect the postoperative recovery.

As a classical technique a daily chest X-ray is performed from first day of surgical intervention to hospital discharge to assess the amount of residual pleural effusion so drainage removal can be done or not and also assess other pulmonary complications.

However, chest X-rays are costly, exposing patients and health care workers to ionizing radiation requiring patient movement with chest drains, difficult positioning of the patient to get good films, and time consuming.

On the other hand, using chest ultrasound is a good alternative for chest X-ray because it is a bedside, easier, more sensitive and accurate in detection of pulmonary complications.

Its main advantages represented in avoiding the danger of ionizing radiations, easier device portability, low cost and a rapid learning curve.

So it is easy and less time consuming to correlate between ultrasound findings and clinical data and assist in invasive procedures.

Hypothesis that detecting pulmonary complications postoperative using chest ultrasound is easier, more sensitive and accurate compared to chest X-ray. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
