Conditions

Pulmonary complications after thoracic surgery

Interventions

Conventional Suction group:After conversion to two-lung ventilation and prior to tracheal extubation, suction was performed using a conventional suction catheter.
Fiberoptic Bronchoscopic Suction group:After conversion to two-lung ventilation and prior to tracheal extubation, precise suction was performed with the assistance of fiberoptic bronchoscopy.
