Fig 4 The distribution of the low-attenuation area to total lung volume (LAA/TLV) according to whether a chest tube was placed (n = 53) or not placed (n = 59), among selected patients in whom air leaks were detected during a water-seal test (n = 112).

Fig 5 The postoperative changes in the visual analog scale (VAS) score for postoperative pain according to whether a chest tube was placed (closed circle) or not placed (open triangle). The error bars represent the SEM. The VAS scores were significantly higher in patients with a chest tube than in those without a chest tube on postoperative days 0, 1, 2, and 3. *p < 0.05, **p < The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur ) Copyright © 2017 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions
