About this study

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.

  • Patient receives an intraoperative pleurodesis.
  • Conversion to open thoracotomy or mini thoracotomy intraoperatively.
  • Active pregnancy.
  • Thoracic Revised Cardiac Risk Index Score (ThRCRI)8 >2.
