Digital Versus Conventional Chest Drainage Systems in Resource-limited Setting: A Comparative Analysis
In a resource-constrained setting, digital drainage systems are feasible and may support clinical decision-making through precise air leak quantification. However, no significant differences were observed in key outcomes when compared to conventional drainage, warranting further investigation into cost-effectiveness and broader implementation strategies.
