Silastic Versus Conventional Drain in Thoracic Surgery

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In thoracic surgery, it is usual to place apical and basal drains for complete drainage of air and fluid out of the pleural cavity. The routinely used drains are mainly made of plastic. Recently silastic drains of smaller size are used without any complication. The investigators designed a prospective randomized trial to compare the draining properties of the two types of drains following various resections in thoracic surgery.

Conditions

  • Air Leak From Lung
  • Post Procedural Persistent Drain Fluid

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Silastic vs conventional drain in thoracic surgery

Apical drains will be identical in size and material, and the basal drains will be different in groups. The patients will be followed for daily amounts of fluid drainage, duration of air leaks and fluid drainage, and duration of hospitalization, and the results will be compared statistically to asses any possible relationships with the outcome and the type of basal drain used.
