Limited evidence exists to guide chest tube management following cardiac surgery in children. We assessed chest tube practice variation by surveying paediatric heart centres to prepare for a multi-site quality improvement project. We summarised management strategies highlighting variability in criteria for chest tube removal between and within centres. This lack of standardisation provides an opportunity for quality improvement.
关于儿童心脏手术后胸管管理的指导性证据有限。我们通过对儿科心脏中心进行调查来评估胸管操作的差异，为一个多中心质量改进项目做准备。我们总结了管理策略，突出了各中心之间以及中心内部胸管拔除标准的差异。这种缺乏标准化的情况为质量改进提供了契机。
