Simple saline flush could speed recovery from serious lung infections

NCT ID NCT06427538

Summary

This study is testing whether regularly flushing a chest drainage tube with sterile salt water helps patients with severe lung infections. Researchers want to see if this common but unproven practice helps clear the infection faster, allowing the tube to be removed sooner and shortening hospital stays. The study will involve 96 adult patients who need a chest tube as part of their standard care.
