Pleuropulmonary Echography Versus Standard Chest X-ray in the Post-operative Follow-up of Pleuropulmonary Surgery
Completed
- Conditions
- Pleuro-pulmonary Surgery
- Registration Number
- NCT03835130
- Lead Sponsor
- University Hospital Center of Martinique
- Brief Summary
In postoperative pleuro-pulmonary surgery, the monitoring of the appearance of complications is guided, depending on the centres, by the systematic daily performance or, in the event of a call point, by chest x-ray at the patient's bed until the drains are ablative.
This repeated performance of radiographs results in irradiation of patients but also of medical staff and a significant cost.
In the thoracic study, ultrasound imaging is a fast, cost-effective, non-irradiating solution that can be performed at the patient's bedside. It could guide the performance of chest x-ray, limit their number, with increased clinical relevance.
