Summary

This study compares a new digital chest tube drainage system (Thopaz+) to the standard analog system in children who need a chest tube after lung surgery or a collapsed lung. The goal is to see if the digital system reduces how long the tube stays in, how many chest X-rays are needed, and how long air leaks last. About 140 children aged 17 and younger will take part.
