Chest drain suction of -20 cm H O has been used universally after lung resection. After introducing new guidelines,-8 cm H O was used routinely for all non-pneumonectomy, thoracoscopic lung resections. We conducted a review to determine outcomes and safety.
After introduction of the guidelines data were collected in the study institutions' thoracic surgical database and subsequently analysed.
A total of 155 patients underwent thoracoscopic lung resection. Mean patient age was 61.5 ± 13.6 years. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery was performed in 92.2% (144/155) of patients and robotically-assisted thoracoscopic surgery was performed in 7.8% (12/155) of patients. Lobectomy was performed in 56.8% (88/155) of patients, segmentectomy was performed in 11.6% (18/155) of patients and wedge resection was performed in 31.6% (49/155) of patients. Median ICC duration time was 1 day (IQR 1-3). Median length of stay was 3 days (IQR 2-6). For patients undergoing lobectomy median ICC time was 2 days (IQR 1-4.5) and median length of stay was 3.5 days (IQR 2-7), for segmentectomy median ICC time was 1 day (IQR 1-5) and median length of stay was 2 days (IQR 1-5) and for wedge resection median ICC time was 1 day (IQR 1-1) and median admission time was 2 days (IQR 1-4).
A suction level -8 cm H O is safe to use for thoracoscopic lung resections from day 0 post-operatively. A dedicated, prospective study comparing levels of suction should be performed.
肺切除术后,胸腔引流通常采用 -20cmH2O 的负压吸引。在引入新指南后,所有非全肺切除术、胸腔镜肺切除术常规采用 -8cmH2O 的负压吸引。我们进行了一项回顾性研究,以确定结果和安全性。
在指南引入后,研究机构的胸外科数据库中收集了数据,并随后进行了分析。
共 155 例患者接受了胸腔镜肺切除术。患者平均年龄为 61.5±13.6 岁。92.2%(144/155)的患者行电视胸腔镜手术,7.8%(12/155)的患者行机器人辅助胸腔镜手术。肺叶切除术 56.8%(88/155),肺段切除术 11.6%(18/155),楔形切除术 31.6%(49/155)。中位 ICC 持续时间为 1 天(IQR 1-3)。中位住院时间为 3 天(IQR 2-6)。肺叶切除术患者中位 ICC 时间为 2 天(IQR 1-4.5),中位住院时间为 3.5 天(IQR 2-7);肺段切除术患者中位 ICC 时间为 1 天(IQR 1-5),中位住院时间为 2 天(IQR 1-5);楔形切除术患者中位 ICC 时间为 1 天(IQR 1-1),中位住院时间为 2 天(IQR 1-4)。
胸腔镜肺切除术后第 0 天即可安全使用 -8cmH2O 的负压吸引。应进行一项专门的前瞻性研究,比较不同负压吸引水平的效果。
