In this report, we detail the results of the 2010 BTS national pleural procedures audit, to which 58 hospitals covering a collective population of more than 20 million patients contributed data regarding local pleural procedure practice and training policies and the process and complications associated with a total of 824 chest drain insertions. The results highlight a promising increase in the use of real time ultrasound guidance for pleural procedures but also deficiencies in pre-procedure consent practice and a significant rate of avoidable minor complications such as drain fall-out and procedure related pain. Action points for improvement to local pleural procedure practice are suggested.
在本报告中，我们详细介绍了 2010 年 BTS 全国胸膜操作审计的结果，共有 58 家医院参与了此项审计，这些医院覆盖了超过 2000 万患者的集体人口，提供了有关当地胸膜操作实践和培训政策的数据，以及总共 824 例胸腔引流管插入的过程和并发症。结果表明，实时超声引导在胸膜操作中的应用有了可喜的增加，但术前同意实践仍存在不足，并且存在相当比例的可避免轻微并发症，如引流管脱落和与操作相关的疼痛。建议提出了改进当地胸膜操作实践的要点。
