About this study

The safe conditions for early chest tube removal have been progressively questioned and redefined around reliable digital air flow criteria and extension of liquid threshold accepted. Nevertheless, in current practice, the chest tube remains in restricting early mobilization and optimal compliance with ERAS programme, during the first crucial 24 h after surgery. Thus, to go further, the investigators decide to assess in this study the safety of POD 0 chest tube removal after minor thoracic operations in patients in health condition tolerating operation and anesthesia.
