Intermittent chest tube clamping decreases chest tube duration time and drainage volume after lung cancer surgery in patients without air leak: an open-label, randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND: Our previous retrospective study proved the safety and effectiveness of chest tube clamping in terms of shortening chest tube duration. However, it needed to be verified by a prospective study. This study sought to determine if intermittent chest tube clamping decreases chest tube durati...

description | BACKGROUND: Our previous retrospective study proved the safety and effectiveness of chest tube clamping in terms of shortening chest tube duration. However, it needed to be verified by a prospective study. This study sought to determine if intermittent chest tube clamping decreases chest tube duration and total drainage volume after lung cancer surgery in patients without air leak. METHODS: Patients with resectable lung cancer scheduled to undergo lobectomy were identified as potential candidates. Once the re-expansion of the lung was confirmed via radiography the morning of postoperative day 1 and no air leak was detected, 180 patients were randomly assigned to intermittent chest tube clamping (the clamping group, n=90) or continuous gravity drainage (the control group, n=90). The primary outcome was chest tube drainage duration. Pleural drainage volume and adverse events were also recorded. RESULTS: Of 180 patients, 12 were subsequently withdrawn from the study for various reasons. In the intention-to-treat analysis, the chest tube drainage duration was significantly shorter {median [interquartile range]: 2 [2, 3] vs. 3 [2, 3] days; P=0.009}, and total drainage volume was much less (mean ± standard deviation: 516.73±410.9 vs. 657.8±448.2 mL; P=0.029) in the clamping group than the control group. In the per-protocol analysis, the chest tube drainage duration was significantly shorter {median [interquartile range]: 2 [2, 3] vs. 3 [2, 3] days; P=0.007}, and total drainage volume was much less (mean ± standard deviation: 437.8±213.9 vs. 604.8±352.8 mL; P=0.001) in the clamping group than the control group. Further, the clamping group showed a major improvement in plasma albumin declination at discharge (mean ± standard deviation: 7.7±2.9 vs. 9.0±5.2 g/L; P=0.040). No severe adverse events were observed in either 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS: Our study indicates that chest tube clamping decreased the duration of chest tube drainage and drainage volume without causing adverse effects. Its wider application may help reduce medical costs and increase patient comfort. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03379350. |
