The Effect on Chest Tube Drainage of Postoperative Prophylactic Enoxaparin in Patients with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Conclusion: We found that in patients undergoing anatomic resection for primary lung cancer, the blood transfusion and chest drain volume did not differ whether the patients were given enoxaparin or not. To our knowledge, the impact on chest drain volume of Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin given to anatomic resection patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma has not been investigated before.
