Effect of Muscle and Skin Fixation of Thoracic Drainage Tube on Postoperative Pain

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Postoperative Pain; Pulmonary Neoplasm; Lung Neoplasms; Lung Cancer; Thoracoscopic Surgery

• Registration Number: NCT05202249
• Lead Sponsor: Daping Hospital and the Research Institute of Surgery of the Third Military Medical University

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.

Exclusion Criteria

• 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.
