[Establishment of A Clinical Prediction Model of Prolonged Air Leak after Anatomic Lung Resection].
Prolonged air leak (PAL) after anatomic lung resection is a common and challenging complication in thoracic surgery. No available clinical prediction model of PAL has been established in China. The aim of this study was to construct a model to identify patients at increased risk of PAL by using preoperative factors exclusively. ⋯ Our prediction model could accurately identify occurrence risk of PAL in patients after anatomic lung resection, which might allow for more effective use of intraoperative prophylactic strategies. .

[Application of Digital Drainage System in Postoperative Refractory Prolonged Air Leaks after Pulmonary Surgery].
Postoperative prolonged air leaks is one of the most common complications secondary to pulmonary resections. Digital drainage system (DDS) is considered as an accurate and objective device which has been found to be comfortable and well tolerated by patients, economical as well. The aim of this study is to explore the application of DDS in patients with postoperative refractory prolonged air leaks after pulmonary surgery. ⋯ It is safe and feasible to apply digital drainage system to patients with postoperative refractory prolonged air leaks after pulmonary resection. Compared with the conventional drainage system, digital drainage system is more accurate and objective which can offer a larger suction pressure and promote lung recruitment maneuver for pleurodesis, shortening the drainage time and length of hospital stay.

[Diagnostic Utility of Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy Combined with Radial Probe Endobronchial Ultrasound in Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions].
With the application of high resolution computed tomography (CT), a large number of peripheral lung lesions were found. It put forward new challenge on clinical diagnosis and treatment for these peripheral lung lesions. Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) and radial endobronchial ultrasound probe (R-EBUS) are new technologies used for the diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions. The aim of this study is to explore the application value of ENB combined with R-EBUS in the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions. ⋯ ENB combined with R-EBUS for the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions is safe and effective. This technique is worth promoting.
