DOI: 10.1111/vec.13257
Abstract: BACKGROUND Active pleural suction devices may be required for continuous drainage of pleural fluid or air. Such devices may not always be available or economical to stock at all veterinary hospitals. Three designs of pleural… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/15569845221074431
Abstract: Objective Omitting pleural drainage after video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for pulmonary wedge resections has been shown to be a safe approach to enhance recovery. However, major concerns remain regarding the risk of postoperative pneumothoraces requiring… read more here.

DOI: 10.21037/jtd.2018.08.11
Abstract: Background Prolonged air leak (PAL) is often the limiting factor for hospital discharge after lung surgery. Our goal was to develop a statistical model that reliably predicts pulmonary air leak resolution by applying statistical time… read more here.

DOI: 10.2147/ijgm.s349249
Abstract: Purpose Pleural effusions are common in mechanically ventilated patients. However, the risk factors for poor outcomes after pleural drainage are poorly understood. This study aimed to identify factors that were associated with in-hospital mortality among… read more here.
