Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of indwelling closed thoracic drainage tubes in the wedge resection of the lungs is of great significance to postoperative recovery. However, there are potential risks. OBJECTIVE To explore the design feasibility and application effect of triple-buffer-system-fixed small-diameter (18 F) thoracic closed drainage tubes following lung wedge resection. METHODS A total of 136 patients with indwelling thoracic drainage tubes following pulmonary wedge resection were recruited, with 70 patients allocated to the control group and 66 to the experimental group. The drainage tube in the experimental group was fixed with the triple-buffer system, while that in the control group was fixed using the conventional lifting platform method. The incidence of unplanned extubation, the indwelling time of the drainage tube and the time and material costs, as well as information regarding any subcutaneous emphysema and skin tension blisters, were recorded following the operation. The pain and degree of comfort were assessed using a chi-square test and a rank sum t-test to compare the differences between the two groups. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences in terms of age, gender and sweating between the two groups. Compared with the control group, the unplanned extubation rate of the experimental group was lower (χ2= 8.513; P= 0.004), the indwelling time of the drainage tube was shorter (t= 2.108; P= 0.037), the cumulative material cost was lower (t= 3.778; P< 0.001), the time cost was also lower (Z= 2.717; P= 0.008), the degree of comfort was higher (Z= 2.752; P= 0.006), and the degree of pain was lower (Z= 4.019; P< 0.001). The incidence of subcutaneous emphysema was significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group (χ2= 8.513; P= 0.004). CONCLUSION The use of the triple-buffer system to fix small-diameter (18 F) thoracic closed drainage tubes can reduce the unplanned extubation rate, indwelling time of the drainage tube and the incidence of adverse reactions.

Abstract
For decades, there has been scanty evidence, most of which is of poor quality, to guide clinicians in the assessment and management of pneumothorax. A recent surge in pneumothorax research has begun to address controversies surrounding the topic and change the face of pneumothorax management. In this article, we review controversies concerning the etiology, pathogenesis, and classification of pneumothorax, and discuss recent advances in its management, including conservative and ambulatory management. We review the evidence base for the challenges of managing pneumothorax, including persistent air leak, and suggest new directions for future research that can help provide patient-centered, evidence-based management for this challenging cohort of patients.

Abstract
Background Previous randomized controlled trials have compared the efficacy and safety of single chest drain (SCD) and double chest drains (DCD) in the patients undergone pulmonary lobectomy, yet the results remain inconsistent. Therefore, we aimed to conduct this present systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the role of SCD and DCD in the patients undergone pulmonary lobectomy. Methods PubMed, Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, Weipu, and China Biomedical Literature databases were searched up to February 28, 2020, to identify the potential RCTs on SCD and DCD in the patients undergone pulmonary lobectomy. The main outcomes including verbal pain score, the duration of drainage (days), the length of hospital stay (days), and the incidence of air leak and re-drainage were collected and analyzed. All the data were processed and analyzed with software RevMan 5.3. We calculated and analyzed the odds ratios (OR) for dichotomous outcomes and the mean difference (MD) for continuous outcomes. Results A total of 11 RCTs with 1214 patients were included, in which 589 patients received SCD treatment and 625 patients DCD treatment. The verbal pain score (MD = − 0.54, 95%CI (− 0.87, − 0.21)), the duration of drainage (MD = − 0.65, 95%CI (− 1.04, − 0.26)), and the length of hospital stay (MD = − 0.55, 95%CI (− 0.80, − 0.29)) in SCD group were significantly less than that of DCD group. There were no significant differences on the incidence of air leak (OR = 1.35, 95%CI (0.86, 2.11)) and re-drainage (OR = 0.88, 95%CI (0.41, 1.90)) among the two groups. Conclusions SCD is a safe option, and it has the advantages of less postoperative pain, shortened duration of drain, and reduced length of hospital stay when compared with DCD in the patients undergone pulmonary lobectomy.

Artif Organs 2020; 44:1162-1170. [PMID: 32437592 DOI: 10.1111/aor.13740] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2020] [Revised: 04/20/2020] [Accepted: 05/12/2020] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
The motion-activated system (MAS) employs vibration to prevent intraluminal chest tube clogging. We evaluated the intraluminal clot formation inside chest tubes using high-speed camera imaging and postexplant histology analysis of thrombus. The chest tube clogging was tested (MAS vs. control) in acute hemothorax porcine models (n = 5). The whole tubes with blood clots were fixed with formalin-acetic acid solution and cut into cross-sections, proceeded for H&E-stained paraffin-embedded tissue sections (MAS sections, n = 11; control sections, n = 11), and analyzed. As a separate effort, a high-speed camera (FASTCAM Mini AX200, 100-mm Zeiss lens) was used to visualize the whole blood clogging pattern inside the chest tube cross-sectional view. Histology revealed a thin string-like fibrin deposition, which showed spiral eddy or aggregate within the blood clots in most sections of Group MAS, but not in those of the control group. Histology findings were compatible with high-speed camera views. The high-speed camera images showed a device-specific intraluminal blood "swirling" pattern. Our findings suggest that a continuous spiral flow in blood within the chest tube (MAS vs. static control) contributes to the formation of a spiral string-like fibrin network during consumption of coagulation factors. As a result, the spiral flow may prevent formation of thick band-like fibrin deposits sticking to the inner tube surface and causing tube clogging, and thus may positively affect chest tube patency and drainage.

Abstract
Background Although recurrence is included in surgical indications, there is no definitive guideline for managing recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) according to characteristics of recurrence, such as the type [primary SP (PSP) or secondary SP (SSP)] and recurrence-free interval (RFI). Actually, some patients with early cessation of air leak after closed thoracostomy tubes, a long RFI, or medical comorbidities are often managed conservatively without surgery. However, the validity of this management is unclear. The aims of the present study are to analyze treatment outcomes for recurrent SP according to the type of SP and RFI, and to check the validity of conservative treatment for patients according to type of SP and RFI. Methods We included 1,250 consecutive cases (624 right sided and 626 left side cases for the first episode) who were hospitalized and treated from January 2012 to June 2018. To investigate recurrence according to treatment modality (surgical or conservative treatment), we estimated RFI in each group during the observation period. RFI was measured from the completion of treatment to recurrence or last follow-up. We divided patients into two groups [the early (EG) and the late (LG) recurrence group] according to 1-year. Recurrence was defined as a subsequent episode of an ipsilateral SP, while a contralateral SP was regarded as an independent case in the present study. RFI between subgroups was compared using the Kaplan-Meier method with the log-rank test. A P value less than 0.05 (two-sided) was regarded as statistically significant. Results Recurrence occurred in 47 cases after surgical intervention for the first episode (585 cases). Recurrence occurred in 265 cases after conservative treatment for the first episode of SP (665 cases). For the first episode, the surgical group (SG) had a significantly longer RFI than the conservative group (CG), regardless of the type (both, P<0.001). Conservative treatment and surgical intervention for the second episode after conservative treatment for the first episode were performed in 98 and 167 cases, respectively. For the second episode after conservative treatment for the first episode, SG also had a significantly longer RFI than CG, regardless of the types (PSP P<0.001, SSP P=0.031). To check the validity of conservative treatment for patients with a long RFI, we analyzed recurrence by dividing patients into two groups according to one-year RFI. For PSP, the early recurrence group (EG, RFI ≤1 year) had 99 cases and the late recurrent group (LG, RFI >1 year) had 67 cases. SG had a significantly longer RFI than CG in both EG and LG (EG, P<0.001 and LG, P=0.001). In addition, for SSP, there were 67 cases of EG and 32 cases of LG, SG had significantly longer RFIs than CG in EG (P=0.007). However, there was no significant difference in RFI between SG and CG in LG (P=0.748). Conclusions The present study revealed diversity of management outcomes according to characteristics of recurrence and provides some evidences of the validity of conservative treatment in recurrent SSP with a long RFI. Further large-scale prospective randomized trials are required to validate these findings.

Abstract
Air leaks following thoracic surgery continue to be a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. In contemporary thoracic surgery, many aspects of post-surgical air leaks are still controversial. In developing countries like Colombia, state-of-the-art technology such as newer digital drainage systems are not always available, and surgeons rely primarily on water seal systems for air leak management. Although efforts are being made to increase the use of newer digital systems, being a third-world country has its challenges, and we emphasize the importance of following international guidelines as much as possible, especially when facing complex situations such as perioperative air leaks with limited resources.

Abstract
Persistent air leak (PAL) is a cause of significant morbidity in patients who have undergone lung surgery and those with significant parenchymal lung disease suffering from a pneumothorax. Its management can be complex and challenging. Although conservative treatment with chest drain and observation is usually effective, other invasive techniques are needed when conservative treatment fails. Surgical management and medical pleurodesis have long been the usual treatments for PAL. More recently numerous bronchoscopic procedures have been introduced to treat PAL in those patients who are poor candidates for surgery or who decline surgery. These techniques include bronchoscopic use of sealants, sclerosants, and various types of implanted devices. Recently, removable one-way valves have been developed that are able to be placed bronchoscopically in the affected airways, ameliorating air-leaks in patients who are not candidates for surgery. Future comparative trials are needed to refine our understanding of the indications, effectiveness, and complications of bronchoscopic techniques for treating PAL. The following article will review the basic principles of management of PAL particularly focusing on bronchoscopic techniques.
