Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Monitoring carefully selected participants to determine if participants can be safely discharged the same day of pulmonary resection

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Other: same day discharge
N/A

Detailed Description

Determination of the feasibility of implementing a same day discharge program after minor pulmonary surgery. This will be determined by evaluating the percentage of participants who have chest tubes removed successfully, as well as evaluating the percentage of participants who would be classified as discharged on the day of surgery. The investigators will also be evaluating morbidity associated with this protocol by capturing rates of pleural reintervention.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Other: Discharge

Phase 1-Patients will continue to be admitted after their surgery as is the current practice. Phase 2-Patients will have their chest tube removed once they meet chest tube removal criteria and will be discharged home once they meet discharge criteria.

Other: same day discharge
same day discharge

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Rate of successful same day discharge [2 years]

    These patients will have their chest tube removed once they meet chest tube removal criteria and will be discharged home once they meet discharge criteria.
