“…Our study was powered to detect a difference of 1 day in chest tube duration and length of stay. Our findings are consistent with those of two other trials [9,10], yet they contradict the findings of seven other trials [5,6,[11][12][13][14][15]. The discrepancies between our hypothesis and findings and the nine previous trials can be explained.…”

“…Six trials concluded that the digital devices resulted in shorter chest tube duration and shorter LOS (9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14). One study showed shorter chest tube duration with no significant difference in LOS (15). Three trials did not find a significant difference in either chest tube duration or LOS (16)(17)(18).…”

Optimal management of postoperative parenchymal air leaks

et al. 2018

Post-lung resection air leaks remain one of the most common complications resulting in delay of hospital discharge (1). They result from an alveolar-pleural fistula, and in most instances, will heal spontaneously. Prolonged air leaks (PAL) have been defined as lasting more than 5 days after surgery (2). Despite multiple advances in lung resection, including the use of stapling devices, sealants and approaches without fissure dissection, thoracic surgeons continue to be plagued by air leaks. Over 50% of patients undergoing lung resection will have an air leak within the first 24 hours after surgery (2-4) and up to 15% of patients will have a PAL (5). Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs must be designed to deal with air leaks in a systemic, evidencebased manner. Management of air leaks spans from the preoperative assessment to predict patients at high risk of PAL, intraoperative maneuvers to prevent parenchymal air leaks and postoperative management to reduce the duration of an air leak. This manuscript will focus on the two components of postoperative management of PAL: (I) accurate assessment of the air leak, and (II) management of a true alveolar-pleural fistula. Air leak assessment The accurate measurement of an air leak following lung resection has come to the forefront of ERAS programs. Traditional analogue devices only allow for a subjective static assessment of air leaks. Digital devices have allowed more objective measurements of air leaks by measuring

“…Postoperative chest tube management has also been streamlined by telemedicine and tele-monitoring systems. Digital chest tube drainage systems can reduce the risk of postoperative air leak, reduce treatment time and shorten hospital stays by the ability to monitor chest tube parameters wirelessly distant from the patient (10,11). An additional benefit of this system is the increased patient convenience which provides satisfaction and confidence in the systemwhich has been replicated at multiple surgical centers around the world (12).…”

Novel Pre- and Postoperative Care Using Telemedicine

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The use of telemedicine and telehealth services has grown exponentially over the past decade and has become increasingly relevant and necessary during the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. There remains ample opportunity to electronically connect cardiothoracic surgeons with their patients during both preoperative and postoperative visits. In this review, we examine the various implementations of telemedicine within thoracic surgery and explore future applications in this quickly developing field.
