Multicentric randomized controlled trial comparing digital and traditional chest drain in a video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) pulmonary lobectomy cohort: interim analysis

Abstract

The usefulness of digital chest drain is still discussed. We are carrying out a study to determine if the use of a digital system compared with a traditional system reduces the duration of chest drainage. To enable early recognition of inferiority if present, an a priori interim analysis was planned
