The standard, often overlooked, practice by Dr. Gillinov, Chief of Cardiac Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic.

Marc Gillinov, MD, Chairman of the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic, shared the importance and benefit of avoiding chest drain occlusion to prevent the inflammatory consequences of retained blood after cardiac surgery. Watch the entire webinar from the Arab Health Conference filmed in January 2022. https://lnkd.in/dNgPU_Vj

You can avoid chest drain occlusion and prevent complications and hospital costs with the PleuraFlow system that Dr. Gillinov mentions. Find documentation here: https://clearflow.com/

Reduce readmissions, a strategy.

Approximately 20% of readmissions are caused by pleural or pericardial effusions.

The "Leave no clot behind" strategy appears to reduce the complications from effusions and impact outcomes.

Large volume clots must be surgically evacuated in a re-exploration procedure in the early days after surgery. Smaller, more focal clots that compress the heart can lead to hemodynamic compromise (pericardial tamponade) that can threaten the patient's life. These can require a subsequent drainage pr...
