Brief 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

Keywords

Chest tube removal

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Diagnosis of Pneumothorax

  Assess the accuracy of nurse-performed lung ultrasound in the diagnosis of pneumothorax post chest tube removal after cardiac surgery compared to chest x-ray.

  24 months

Interventions

Lung ultrasound assessment for ruling out pneumothorax DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

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.

Also known as: Portable chest x-ray

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Probability Sample

Study Population

CVICU patients after cardiac surgery

You may qualify if:

• Patients older than 18 years in the cardiovascular intensive care unit post cardiac surgery, with a chest tube removed within the past 2 hours.

You may not qualify if:

• Patients who were mechanically ventilated or with subcutaneous emphysema due to impaired pleural line visualization.
