About this study

Official title: Risk of 24 Hour-pneumothorax After Chest Tube Removal With and Without Chest Tube Clamping in Patients With Pleural Pathology at the National Institute of Respiratory Diseases

Through this randomized controlled clinical trial, we aim to identify whether there is a difference in the incidence of 24 hour pneumothorax after chest tube removal, in two blindly randomized groups of patients: The first group with chest tube clamping 6 hours prior to removal, and the second group there will be no chest tube clamping.

The data will be prospectively collected from patient records from the National Institute of Respiratory Diseases Ismael Cosío Villegas.

Read the detailed description

Patients with an indication of chest tube removal will be randomized to two possible arms: clamping (for 6 hours before removal) or not clamping (immediate removal).

Incidence of 24hour pneumothorax after chest tube removal will be recorded.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ClampingProcedure or surgery

    There will be a randomized selection of patients who will have a clamping of the chest tube 6 hours prior to chest tube removal.

  • Non ClamplingProcedure or surgery

    There will be a randomized selection of patients who wont have chest tube clamping 6 hours prior to chest tube removal.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of pneumothorax after chest tube removal with chest tube clamping

    Cases of pneumothorax after chest tube removal despite clamping

    Measured: After 24 hours of procedure

  2. Incidence of pneumothorax after chest tube removal without chest tube clamping

    Cases of pneumothorax after chest tube removal despite clamping

    Measured: After 24 hours of procedure

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Hospital days of stay

    Hospital days of stay

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Clamping and Non Clampling in people with Pneumothorax and Chest Tube, run by National Institute of Respiratory Diseases, Mexico at 1 site in Mexico.

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 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Incidence of pneumothorax after chest tube removal with chest tube clamping (time frame: After 24 hours of procedure). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 2023.
