Registration Number
NCT03598296
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

Comparing the influences of different chest tube managements for enhanced recovery program after video-Assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy.

Detailed Description

The Enhanced Recovery Program has a series of observation data contains hospitalization days, adverse events, drainage, extubation, visual analogue scale(VAS) scores and the number of analgesic using.The investigators plan to enroll 60 patients and divide them into two groups to compare the influences of different chest tube managements for enhanced recovery program after video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy.

Group A:Group TubeLarge size tubePatients are inserted the large size tube (28F).Patients undergo upper lobectomy are inserted one additional large size tube(28F,we named this tube upper tube).This group is planned to enroll 30 patients.
Group B:Group BallDrainage ballPatients are inserted the small size tube connects with a negative pressure ball(drainage ball).Patients undergo upper lobectomy are inserted one additional large size tube(28F,we named this tube upper tube).This group is planned to enroll 30 patients.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Hospitalization daysFrom the first days after surgery to discharge,up to 4 weeks.

The numbers of days of patients stay in the hospital after surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
AnalgesicsCounting the total analgesics using times through study completion, an average of 3 months.

The number of analgesics using after surgery.

DrainageMeasure the volume every 24 hours,up to 4 weeks

The total volume of fluid.

Adverse eventCounting the times of adverse events through study completion, an average of 3 months.

Air-leakage or seepage from the surrounding of tube.

Pulmonary recruitmentThe first 24 hours after surgery and 8 hours before leaving hospital.

Chest X-Ray

VAS scoresPain is measured by VAS on the first 24 hours of after operation and the first 24 hours after tube removing.

VAS(Visual Analogue Score) is a method to value the degree of patient's pain after surgery.This method has a scale range from 1 to 10.Patient chose a number from it to represent his(her) pain.The "1" represents painless and the "10" represents sever pain which he(she) unable to bear. The pain is increasing with the increasing of number.
