NCT04461652

Brief Summary

Traditional drainage for uniportal video assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a routine method, usually with one or two chest tubes at intercostal incisions, but postoperative pain due to the chest tube and unsatisfied drainage effect was noted. In this study, the investigators are going to explore whether a prophylactic air-extraction catheter combined with chest tube drainage may not increase complications in uniportal VATS for upper lung lobectomy. The patients would be assigned to two arms, one with a prophylactic air-extraction catheter combined with chest tube, and another with two chest tubes, and the effect of the combined drainage strategy will be evaluated.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • pneumothorax incidence

    The incidence of pneumothorax on day 1 after operation

    24-30 hours after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • pain scores

    1day, 3days and 30 days after surgery

  • Extubation time

    within 30 days after surgery

  • Total volume

    1 day after surgery

Study Arms (2)

New method

EXPERIMENTAL

One thoracic tube (28fr drainage tube) was inserted through intercostal incision, and one microtubule (7fr × 20cm) was punctured through the middle line of clavicle

Procedure: prophylactic air-extraction catheter drainage

Traditional method

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Two conventional chest tubes (28fr or 24fr) were placed through intercostal incision

Procedure: prophylactic air-extraction catheter drainage

Interventions

This is a kind of venous catheter commonly used in clinic. It may bring less pain after being inserted into the chest, with an equivalent drainage effect with traditional thick drainage tube from our experience, especially in the aspect of gas drainage effect.

Model Details: The study is a prospective, randomized, non-inferiority trial, two different drainage strategy will be performed, and both were used routinely in clinical practice. One should be one thoracic tube (28fr drainage tube) was inserted through intercostal incision, and one microtubule (7fr × 20cm) was punctured through the middle line of clavicle, and another will be two conventional chest tubes (28fr or 24fr) were placed through intercostal incision.
