NCT05202249

Brief Summary

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Thoracoscopic pulmonary resection is a prevalent management for early stage of lung cancer. Placement of chest tube is the standard procedure after surgery, which causes pain that cannot be ignored. The investigators aimed to determine whether a muscle layer fixation of thoracic drainage tube could release postoperative pain in patients with uniport thoracoscopic pulmonary resection compared with conventional skin fixation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Postoperative Pain

    The postoperative pain is assessed using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

    From date of operation until the date of chest tube removal, assessed up to 7 days

  • Pain-associated inflammatory factor

    the level of pain-associated inflammatory factor in blood, including CRP, PCT, IL6 and TNFa

    the first day after surgery

  • Dosage of analgesics

    Dosage of analgesics

    From date of operation until the date of chest tube removal, assessed up to 7 days

Study Arms (2)

muscle layer fixation group

EXPERIMENTAL
Procedure: muscle layer fixation of thoracic drainage tube

conventional skin fixation group

NO INTERVENTION

Interventions

The thoracic drainage tube is fixed on the muscle layer of the uniport

muscle layer fixation group

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 80 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • \<age\<80;
  • ASA≤III
  • Patients with no clinically significant cardiac history, such as ischaemic heart disease, valvular heart disease, rhythm disturbances such as frequent atrial fibrillation or premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). Patients with significant cardiac history should be optimized according the relevant guidelines before surgery is considered.
  • Normal cardiopulmonary function \[predicted forced expiratory volume in the first second(FEV1%) \>50% and ejection fraction (EF) \>50%of predicted value\]. Resting blood gas analysis showing arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2)≥75 mmHg and arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) \<45 mmHg;

You may not qualify if:

  • History of ipsilateral surgery and other conditions which can result in extensive pleural adhesion;
  • Coagulopathy, hypoxemia (PaO2 \<60 mmHg), hypercapnia \[arterial carbon dioxide tension(PaCO2) \>50 mmHg\];
  • Significant cardiac history.
