TY - JOUR AU - Kaaki, Suha AU - Pysyk, Christopher AU - Gilbert, Sebastien PY - 2019 TI - Will bubbling decrease the muddling?—a promising technique to detect air leak intra-operatively JF - Journal of Thoracic Disease; Vol 11, Supplement 9 (May 28, 2019): Journal of Thoracic Disease Y2 - 2019 KW - N2 - Air leak is a common complication post lung resection. It delays chest tube removal and increases the length of hospital stay. Recognizing air leak intra-operatively and implementing measures to repair it might lead to decreased hospital stays and decreased costs. During video assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), we presently have a limited ability to detect air leaks intraoperatively. UR - https://jtd.amegroups.org/article/view/27750
