Own blood used to patch lung leaks after cancer surgery

NCT ID NCT04954625

Summary

This study tests whether using a patient's own blood as a patch can help seal air leaks that sometimes occur after lung cancer surgery. The trial involves 120 patients who still have an air leak three days after their operation. Researchers will compare outcomes between patients who receive the blood patch and those who receive standard care to see if it reduces complications and hospital stays.
