Decision-Making in Pleural Drainage Following Lung Resection in Children: A Western Pediatric Surgery Research Consortium Survey
Topic overview
This survey study examines practice patterns among pediatric surgeons regarding chest tube placement after lung resection in children. While adult data supports selective drain omission, significant variation exists in pediatric practice, prompting this multi-institutional assessment of decision-making factors.
Key takeaways
- Adult data supports selective omission of pleural drains after lung resection, but pediatric practice shows significant variation.
- A 10-hospital consortium survey reveals diverse approaches to pleural drainage decision-making in pediatric lung resection.
- Current pediatric pleural drainage practices lack standardization, highlighting need for evidence-based guidelines in this population.
