Thoracic Irrigation for Hemothorax and Pleural Collection Management - Presented by Amit Shah, M.D.

Flashback to November 2022 📋

The goal of pleural irrigation "is to dilute and remove bacteria, cytokines, inflammatory cells, and pro-fibrinogenic coagulation factors. The mechanical process of irrigation increases pleural fluid drainage by reducing stasis and organization of intrapleural contents."

Simple solutions are often most effective.

Centers across the US are standardizing pleural collection management — across Trauma Surgery, Pulmonology, Thoracic Surgery, and beyond.

Protocolized #ThoracicIrrigation aims to improve drainage, reduce the need for additional procedures, and shorten hospital stays.

Why is #ThoracicIrrigation gaining traction in hospitals across the country?

Because preventing retained HTX is a lot easier than treating it.

Retained HTX can often be tracked back to a missed opportunity to prevent the complication.

#ThoracicIrrigation at the time of chest tube placement is a simple, proactive step.

CLR is improving hemothorax care at @uchicagosurgery & @advocatehealth — and last week's Chicago Committee on Trauma meeting brought surgeons from @LoyolaSurgery, @NMSurgery & @CCHTrauma into the conversation too.

Thanks for the opportunity, @ChicagoCOT! More Chicagoland centers on the way.

Suburban Hospital (@SuburbanHosp) joins the #CLRCommunity.

Suburban is the designated regional trauma center for Montgomery County, MD — the most populous county in Maryland, & top 50 in the US.

Also, Suburban is the first of 3 @HopkinsMedicine trauma centers to implement CLR irrigation — allowing the other Hopkins centers to benefit from their experience.

Thank you to Dr. Jerome Byam and Virginia Shad for leading the way.

Two weeks in Chicago.

Last week: Inaugural Chicago Trauma Symposium — penetrating thoracic trauma, irrigation, practical clinical conversation.

This week: We're sponsoring the Chicago Committee on Trauma meeting.

Proud to provide reliable, purpose-built devices to the people doing the hard work in Chicagoland hospitals. Thanks, Nick Hahn, for the local support.

Happy #NationalNursesWeek to the nurses on our team, in the field representing CLR, and in ERs, ICUs, and ORs caring for patients with complex thoracic pathology.

You're central to getting it right. Thank you.

Consider...

*300–500 mL of blood is required to blunt the costophrenic angle on upright CXR.

*23% of patients with small hemothoraces (<300 cc) develop retained collections.
