RESUMEN
Objective To compare the ultrafine chest drainage tube with traditional thick hose as lower tube after uniport thoracoscope pulmonary nodules resection(segmentectomy,lobectomy) and evaluate its efficacy and safety.Methods Ultrafine chest drainage tube was applied in 55 patients underwent uniport thoracoscopy pulmonary resection,and traditional thick closed drainage hose was applied in another 55 patients in the same period as the control group.Postoperative drainage quantity,drainage time,pain score and incision healing between two group were compared.Results No statistically difference was found in two groups at thoracic drainage quantity on 1 day,2 days postoperative and total drainage time.But statistically difference was found in thoracic drainage quantity on 3 days postoperative,pain score and incision healing(P ＜0.05).Conclusion Ultrafine chest drainage tube has little trauma,definite clinical effect and can be easily accepted by patients.
