About this study
Official title: The Development of a Novel Same Day Discharge Program After Pulmonary Resection: A Safety and Feasibility Pilot Study
Monitoring carefully selected participants to determine if participants can be safely discharged the same day of pulmonary resection
Read the detailed description
Determination of the feasibility of implementing a same day discharge program after minor pulmonary surgery. This will be determined by evaluating the percentage of participants who have chest tubes removed successfully, as well as evaluating the percentage of participants who would be classified as discharged on the day of surgery. The investigators will also be evaluating morbidity associated with this protocol by capturing rates of pleural reintervention.
- Conditions
- Surgery, Minor, Lung Cancer
- Being tested

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Discharge | Other | Phase 1-Patients will continue to be admitted after their surgery as is the current practice. Phase 2-Patients will have their chest tube removed once they meet chest tube removal criteria and will be discharged home once they meet discharge criteria. Receives: Other: same day discharge |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Rate of successful same day discharge
These patients will have their chest tube removed once they meet chest tube removal criteria and will be discharged home once they meet discharge criteria.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing same day discharge in people with Surgery and Minor, run by London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute OR Lawson Research Institute of St. Joseph's at 1 site in Canada.
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 1 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
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?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Rate of successful same day discharge (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT05067738, 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 31 May 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 27 Oct 2026.
