In patients undergoing percutaneous lung tumor thermal ablation, overnight observation and same-day discharge showed no significant differences in adverse events or readmissions within 30 days.
Does same-day discharge prevent major adverse events or hospital readmissions in patients who underwent percutaneous lung tumor thermal ablation compared to overnight observation?
Same-day discharge appears to be as safe as overnight observation for selected patients undergoing percutaneous lung tumor thermal ablation.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Among patients who underwent percutaneous lung tumor thermal ablation and who met standardized criteria evaluated after a 3-hour recovery period, those who underwent in-hospital overnight observation and those who underwent same-day discharge did not show significant differences in major adverse events or hospital readmissions within 30 days.
