Early recovery after surgery was new developing science in recent years. However , there was few reports in thoracic surgery field . Investigators try to using digital chest drainage management system into the field of postoperative care and to see whether it could help patients to recovery from surgery as soon as possible. According to investigators's clinical data collecting , investigators will establish a new postoperative care guideline for those patients who receive thoracic surgery
Drainage of the space between the ribs and lungs has been practiced since the time of Hippocrates. Thus far, the function of chest tubes, specifically to drain fluid or air from the pleural space, has virtually remained unchanged for more than 3000 years. The use of chest drainage tubes after thoracic surgery is crucial to evacuate air leakage and/or pleural effusion; however, delayed tube removal may exacerbate pain, delay recovery of lung function and prolong hospitalization. Recently, Thopaz digitally monitored thoracic drainage system (Medela Healthcare, Baar, Switzerland)has been designed to provide objective measurements of air leakage and pleural pressure. With this system, air leakage and pleural pressure can be accurately measured in mL/min and mm H2O, respectively. The rate of air leakage can be seen on a display in real time. Digital surveillance for air leakage is reported to reduce interobserver disagreement in decision making in the management of patients with chest tubes, which might help caregiver a more solid evidence of strategies of postoperative chest drainage care.
