Care Pathway for Patients Undergoing VATS Lobectomy or Segmentectomy

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: VATS Lobectomy, VATS Segmentectomy, Care Pathway, Lung Nodule

In brief

The goal of this study is to create a unified SOP for care of subjects undergoing VATS lobectomy and segmentectomy by members of the Division of Thoracic Surgery. Other academic centers have created standardized algorithms for the care of their subjects and this enables the centers to determine which subjects can be placed on an accelerated pathway to discharge and which cannot. Some of these SOPS dictate uniform treatment algorithms with reduction in what may be unnecessary tests to simplify patient care and likely accelerate them towards safe and more timely discharge from the hospital.
