Heart surgery drainage showdown: active vs. standard tubes
NCT ID NCT07505966
First seen Apr 08, 2026 · Last updated May 10, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study looked at 250 adults who had heart surgery to see if a special method to keep chest tubes clear (active clearance) works better than standard drainage. The goal was to reduce problems like retained blood, bleeding, and the need for another surgery. Researchers reviewed past medical records from three hospitals, so no new treatments or risks were involved. The findings could help improve care for future heart surgery patients.
