Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

Hemodynamic Instability
Hemodynamic Instability after staged removal of chest tube is defined as pulse rate of greater than 120/min, systolic Blood pressure of less than 80 mm of Hg, respiratory rate of greater than 24/min, hemorrhage and persistent air leak in the chest tube. Participants were observed for these above mentioned changes after every staged retraction of chest tube and responses recorded. For the participants who develop hemodynamic instability, thoracotomy was performed and underlying cause for hemodynamic instability is addressed.

PPcT Group

Participants that have been diagnosed with Iatrogenic injury to lung in case of Pulmonary Parenchymal chest tube (PPcT)

Procedure: Removal of PPcT

Interventions

Removal of PPcTProcedure

Iatrogenic Pulmonary Parenchymal Chest Tube is removed as a staged procedure in which gradual retraction of 2cm of chest tube is done from lung parenchyma keeping an eye on the hemodynamic status of Patient.
