Abstract

Persistent pulmonary air leak affects between 10-15% of pulmonary surgical procedures, generally requiring management through the use of conventional chest drainage systems (water-sealed pleural chamber) of subjective interpretation due to poor detection sensitivity. of leaks, resulting in increased morbidity, hospital stay, and costs.
