First seen Mar 23, 2026 · Last updated May 06, 2026 · Updated 7 times

Summary

This study tests whether a digital drainage system called Thopaz+ can accurately measure air leaks that sometimes happen after lung surgery. About 20 adults with air leaks lasting 5 days or more will have the device connected to their chest tube during a bronchoscopy. The goal is to see if the measurements help doctors find the exact leak location and decide on the best treatment, such as placing special valves.
