Abstract
The electrical impedance-based pleural space sensor described in this study provided sensitive and specific pneumothorax detection, which was superior to radiographic analysis. Real-time, continuous monitoring for pneumothorax has the potential to improve the safety, quality, and efficiency of postoperative chest tube management.
