Objective: Recent advancements in chest tube technologies have gained interest for their ability to enhance postoperative recovery via reduction of retained blood syndrome after cardiothoracic surgery. The present study investigates the effect of the Centese Thoraguard automated line-clearance chest tube system on postoperative pain and recovery after cardiac surgery. Methods: This was a single-center retrospective review of 1771 adult patients undergoing nonemergency cardiac surgery between January 2021 and December 2022. Perioperative data were analyzed in 184 patients undergoing surgery with Thoraguard automated clearance chest tubes and 1587 patients with conventional chest tubes. Postoperative outcomes were compared in a propensity-matched cohort of 133 patient pairs with similar preoperative characteristics. Results: Patients undergoing cardiac surgery with automated clearance chest tubes demonstrated significant reductions in pain scores (0-10) compared with conventional chest tubes on the third postoperative day (5 vs 6, P = .02) and at hospital discharge (0 vs 3, P = .04). Automated clearance chest tubes were associated with a shorter time on the ventilator (5.3 vs 5.8 hours, P |
