DOI: 10.1177/15533506211047446
Abstract: BACKGROUND Postoperative observed air leakage does not always originate from parenchymal defects but may arise from defects in the chest drainage unit, connections or reverse airflow in water seals. We investigated such false air leakage… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0187705
Abstract: Background The sensitivity of postoperative pleural air leakage (PAL) after pulmonary resection is evaluated by a simple subjective grading method in clinical practice. A new electronic digital chest drainage evaluation system (DCS) recently became clinically… read more here.
