Intraoperative ventilatory leak predicts prolonged air leak after lung resection: A retrospective observational study
Prolonged air leak (PAL), defined as air leak more than 5 days after lung resection, has been associated with various adverse outcomes. However, studies on intraoperative risk factors for PAL are not sufficient. We investigated whether the intraoperative ventilatory leak (VL) can predict PAL. A retrospective study of 1060 patients with chest tubes after lung resection was conducted. Tidal volum...
متن کاملDoes external pleural suction reduce prolonged air leak after lung resection? Results from the AirINTrial after 500 randomized cases.
BACKGROUND External pleural suction is used after lung resection to promote lung expansion and minimize air leak duration. Published randomized trials failed to prove this advantage but they are limited in number and underpowered in many cases. The aim of the AirINTrial study was to test the hypothesis that external pleural suction may reduce the rate of prolonged air leak in a large, randomize...
متن کاملProlonged air leak following lung resection - does Tri-staplerTM technology improve the incidence?
Background/Introduction Prolonged air leak following lung resection leads to delayed discharge and increases risk of infection. The incidence of prolonged air leak (defined as greater than 7 days) is approx. 9% in the U.K. (SCTS Cardiothoracic Surgery database 2011). The Covidien Tri-staplerTM technology (Covidien, Mansfield, MA) claims to improve air leak rates following lung resection through...
متن کاملQuantifying the incidence and impact of postoperative prolonged alveolar air leak after pulmonary resection.
OBJECTIVE Prolonged alveolar air leak (PAAL) is a frequent occurrence after lobectomy or lesser resections. The resulting complications and their impact are not well understood. Our aims are to prospectively determine the incidence and severity of PAAL after pulmonary resection using the Thoracic Morbidity & Mortality classification system and to identify risk factors. METHODS A prospective c...
متن کاملPostoperative air leak grading is useful to predict prolonged air leak after pulmonary lobectomy
BACKGROUND Results of studies to predict prolonged air leak (PAL; air leak longer than 5 days) after pulmonary lobectomy have been inconsistent and are of limited use. We developed a new scale representing the amount of early postoperative air leak and determined its correlation with air leak duration and its potential as a predictor of PAL. METHODS We grade postoperative air leak using a 5-g...
