Summary

This study looked at whether a specific breathing exercise (forced expiration while lying on the side of the surgery) can shorten the time children need a chest tube after lung surgery. The tube drains fluid that builds up after the operation. The study involved 140 children aged 0-4 years who had lung or chest surgery. Researchers measured how long the tube stayed in and how much fluid drained.
