Clinical Trial: Low (-4) vs Physiologic (-8) Pressure Digital Continuous Suction After Lung Resection

U.S., April 15 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07527702) titled 'Low (-4) vs Physiologic (-8) Pressure Digital Continuous Suction After Lung Resection' on Dec. 24, 2025.

Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether using a lower negative pressure (-4 cmH₂O) on a digital chest drainage device after lung resection reduces the time a chest tube must stay in place compared with the commonly used physiologic pressure (-8 cmH₂O), without increasing complications. The trial enrolls adult patients undergoing segmentectomy or lobectomy for lung cancer at a tertiary medical center.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the -4 cmH₂O setting shorten chest t...
