Gentler suction may speed chest tube removal after lung surgery
NCT ID NCT07527702
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether using a lower suction setting on a chest drainage device after lung cancer surgery can help the chest tube come out sooner. About 160 adults having part of a lung removed will be randomly assigned to either the standard suction or a gentler one. The goal is to see if the gentler setting reduces time with the tube and hospital stay without causing more problems.
