Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Sensitivity of thoracic ultrasound for postoperative pneumothorax after removal of the chest tube, controlled by X-ray.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Specificity of pulmonary sonography for a pneumothorax after removal of chest tube after lung resection thoracic surgery compared to conventional chest x-ray. Sensitivity and specificity of lung sonography for a pneumothorax 2 hours after lung resection thoracic surgery in the recovery room, measured at the reference of the chest tube (air leakage). Sensitivity and specificity of pulmonary sonography for a pneumothorax on the first day after lung resecting surgery Detection of pleural effusions Detection of parenchymal changes examination duration Real or potential damages of the diagnostics are quantified (radiation dose) Differences in the assessment of the relevance of a detected pneumothorax Comparison of resources used	—
