Flail Chest-II01:26

Flail Chest-II

234
Managing flail chest, a condition characterized by a segment of the chest wall moving independently from the rest of the thoracic cage, requires a comprehensive approach. It includes a thorough assessment of the patient's condition, a diagnostic evaluation to determine the extent of the injury, and the implementation of appropriate medical interventions tailored to the individual's needs.

Pneumothorax-II

352
Pneumothorax is a medical condition defined by the buildup of air in the pleural space between the lungs and the chest wall. This accumulation of air can lead to partial or complete lung collapse, resulting in a range of clinical manifestations. Understanding the clinical presentation and effective management strategies is crucial for healthcare professionals in providing timely and appropriate care to individuals with pneumothorax.

Summary

Same-day discharge after minimally invasive pectus excavatum repair is safe and feasible. A new protocol utilizing enhanced pain management significantly reduced length of stay (LOS) without increasing hospital readmissions.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • Minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum typically involves bar placement.
  • Effective postoperative pain control is crucial for determining length of stay (LOS).
  • Intercostal cryoablation has improved pain management, previously establishing a one-night LOS as standard.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and feasibility of a same-day discharge (SDD) protocol for pectus excavatum repair.
  • To assess the impact of the new protocol on postoperative length of stay and hospital readmissions.

Main Methods:

  • A single-center retrospective review compared patients undergoing minimally invasive pectus excavatum repair before and after protocol implementation.
  • The protocol included early surgery times, pre-operative scopolamine, and intra-operative multimodal analgesia (ondansetron, hydromorphone, acetaminophen, ketorolac) combined with thoracoscopic cryoablation.
  • The control group received standard care prior to the protocol's initiation.

Main Results:

  • 61.3% of patients (46/75) in the study group were discharged the same day, compared to 0% in the control group (P < 0.05).
  • The median LOS decreased from 27 hours in the control group to 18.2 hours in the study group (P < 0.05).
  • Return to emergency room rates were similar between groups (8.1% vs. 7.9%), with varied reasons including pain and pleural effusions.

Conclusions:

  • Same-day discharge following pectus bar placement is safe and achievable.
  • The implemented protocol effectively reduces length of stay without compromising patient safety or increasing return visits.
  • This approach offers a viable alternative to traditional inpatient management for pectus excavatum repair.
