About this study

Official title: Omission of Chest Tube Versus Improved Drainage Strategy in Patients With Lung Wedge Resection: A Prospective Randomized Trial

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.

Read the detailed 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.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The incidence rate of massive pneumothorax on day 1 after surgery

    To evaluate the incidence rate of pneumothorax (a pneumothorax greater than 2.0 cm on X-ray)

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Pain score on day 1 after surgery

    To evaluate the pain score via numerical rating scale on day 1 after surgery. An 11-point numeric scale (NRS 11) with 0 representing no pain and 10 representing worst pain imaginable.

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Length of post-operative hospital stay

    To evaluate the length of post-operative hospital stay.

    Measured: 1 week

  3. Postoperative pulmonary function recovery

    To evaluate the postoperative cardiopulmonary function recovery via 6-minute walk test in both groups.

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Complete omission of chest tube and Improved drainage strategy in people with Drainage, run by Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jan 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jia-Tao Zhang, Ph.D (+86-83827812-51311, 18820792959@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The incidence rate of massive pneumothorax on day 1 after surgery (time frame: 1 day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04207671, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Jan 2020.
