Summary

This is a prospective, single-center, observational, cross-sectional cohort study, comparing nurse-performed bedside lung ultrasound to standard portable CXR, for the detection of pneumothorax in the cardiac surgery patient population, following chest tube removal. This study aims to be conducted at an academic, tertiary adult center cardio-vascular intensive care unit (CVICU at TGH).

Conditions

  • Pneumothorax
  • Cardiac Surgery

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Lung ultrasound assessment for ruling out pneumothorax

Patients who have undergone heart surgery and have decided to enroll in our study, will have the standard chest x-ray and an additional lung ultrasound. Within a maximum of two hours of the chest tube removal, the standard chest x-ray will be performed, and then a different nurse will perform the lung ultrasound to check for pneumothorax.
