Prolonged Air Leakage After Major Lung Resection

The goal of this prospective randomized controlled trial is to investigate the clinical effects of autologous blood pleurodesis in the treatment of pulmonary air leaks on the first postoperative day following VATS pulmonary resections. Patients will through web-based randomization be randomly assigned into intrapleural instillation of autologous blood (intervention) or standard treatment with ordinary chest drainage (control).
