Doctors test simple gauge to predict who needs more lung surgery
NCT ID NCT04630301
Summary
This study aimed to see if measuring the pressure inside the chest of patients with a collapsed lung (pneumothorax) could help predict their recovery. Researchers measured this pressure in 37 adults as they received a standard chest tube. They then tracked if patients later needed more invasive procedures, hoping to find a link between the initial pressure reading and future treatment needs.
