Summary
This study tests whether injecting a patient's own blood into the chest can stop air leaks after lung cancer surgery. About 60 adults who still have an air leak three days after surgery will receive the blood patch. The goal is to see if it reduces the number of days the leak lasts, shortens hospital stays, and improves quality of life.
