Other: Preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction and intraoperative protection of bronchial artery
Registration Number
NCT04651686
Lead Sponsor
The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University
Brief Summary

The postoperative complications of thoracoscopic radical surgery for lung cancer mainly include postoperative bleeding, pulmonary infection, chylothorax, nerve injury, pulmonary embolism, arrhythmia, postoperative cough, bronchopleural fistula and so on. Among them, postoperative cough is one of the most common complications after lung surgery, and the incidence of postoperative cough is 25% - 50%. Cough after pneumonectomy can last for a long time, which affects the rapid recovery of patients after surgery, and brings serious adverse effects to the physiological, psychological and social functions of patients.

Detailed Description

After pneumonectomy cough on patients' daily life will bring different degrees of adverse effects, so through certain methods to intervene, in order to reduce the incidence of postoperative cough, accelerate the rapid recovery of patients after surgery, improve the quality of life of patients, which should also be worthy of attention of surgeons. In recent years, the research on intervention measures and treatment methods to reduce cough after thoracoscopic lobectomy is mainly focused on drug treatment, traditional Chinese medicine treatment, surgical operation and anesthesia intervention. However, the research on reducing postoperative cough by improving surgical operation is rare. The purpose of this prospective study was to investigate whether preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction and intraoperative protection of bronchial artery can reduce the severity of cough after thoracoscopic lobectomy, so as to further explore the effective intervention measures of postoperative cough and enrich the concept of accelerated rehabilitation surgery.

Bronchial artery protectionPreoperative three-dimensional reconstruction and intraoperative protection of bronchial arteryAll patients underwent chest enhanced CT examination with 64 slice spiral CT before operation. The bronchial artery was reconstructed by Mimics software. The bronchial artery was protected according to the preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction image during the lymph node dissection
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of postoperative coughIt lasted for 14 days from the first day to two weeks after operation

Cough visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the diagnosis of cough. Vas is a linear scoring method, using 0-100 mm scale, 0 means no cough, 100 means the most serious cough. Patients are required to mark the severity of cough on the scale line according to their own perception of cough, and measure the distance from the starting point to the marking point as a score. The higher the score is, the more serious the cough is. When the scale reaches 60mm, the patient can be diagnosed as postoperative cough.
