Thopaz for PALs Evaluation

"In this trial, patients with PALs will have their chest tubes connected to the Thopaz+ system. The Thopaz+ will continuously quantify the volume of air leaks, providing real-time data for analysis.~Data from both the Thopaz+ and standard serial occlusion test with Fogarty balloon will be combined and integrated to provide a comprehensive assessment of the air leak source. The bronchoscopic will perform standard visual assessment of changes in air leak during serial balloon occlusion in order to identify the best region for endobronchial treatments; use of measurements from the Thopaz and serial balloon occlusion test will be allowed as part of clinical reasoning but are not required to be used by the treating clinician."
