Impact of pleural lavage fluid volume on perioperative outcomes in non-small cell lung cancer patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy: a randomized controlled trial

Key Points

• The trial evaluates pleural lavage fluid volume effects on perioperative outcomes in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
• Primary endpoints relate to recovery times and complication rates after video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy.
• Randomized controlled trial protocol registered, ensuring compliance and methodological rigor before patient enrollment.
• Findings may improve surgical techniques and patient management in lung cancer treatments, enhancing overall outcomes.
