Summary

This study aimed to see if applying cold during and after chest tube removal could lower pain and keep vital signs stable in infants and children up to 3 years old. The researchers planned to measure pain levels, crying time, and heart rate, oxygen, temperature, and breathing. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
