Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: all patients above 18 years of age undergoing elective or emergency surgeries requiring median sternotomy.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: redo sternotomy, any procedure where median sternotomy deviates from the mid line, cases that require additional tiem to complete the sternotoimy necessiate resuming ventilation before the sternotomy is finished, history of pneumonectomy or lobectomy, patients with tuberculosis or pnemonia requiring surgical intervention.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
to evaluate the incidence of accidental pleurotomy during median sternotomy by comparing two methods of lung deflation . 1. ventilation disconnection with endotracheal suctioning 2. ventilation disconnection aloneTimepoint: after the completion of median sterrnotomy

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.to compare unilateral and bilateral pleurotomies and note their sidedness 2. access the incidence of p,eurotomy with respect to the direction of sternotomy saw 3. identify the site of pleurotomy in relation to sternum 4. to determine the overall incidence of pleurotomy from all causes 5. to record other intraoperative complication such as hypoxia, sternal fracture , vasucular injury, pericardial injury, cardiac arrest 6. incidence of pleurotomy in relation to smoking history of more then. 10 pack years or in patient diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Timepoint: after the completion of median sterrnotomy
