초록

본 연구는 개흉술을 실시한 11 마리 개에서 수술 후 흉강 내 음압 형성을 위한 흉강 튜브 삽입방법으로 넓은 등근 아래 흉강 튜브 삽입 방법의 효과를 평가하기 위해 실시 하였다. 흉강 튜브 삽입을 위해 수술 창 뒤쪽으로 다섯 번째 늑간 늑골 위 피부와 넓은 등근에 작은 절개창을 형성하였다. 지혈겸자를 장착한 흉강 튜브를 근육 아래 터널을 통과하여 흉강 내로 삽입하였으며 튜브 장착 후 절개창 주위에 매트리스 봉합법을 이용하여 봉합사를 설치하였다. 수술 후 흉강 내 음압을 형성한 다음 흉강 튜브를 제거하였다. 튜브 관련 부작용을 확인 하기 위해 튜브 삽입 시 튜브 꺽임 현상과 수술 후 신체 검사 및 방사선 검사를 통한 기흉, 피하 기종, 호흡곤란 여부를 확인 하였다. 튜브 삽입 시 튜브 꺽임 현상과 수술 후 기흉 및 호흡 곤란 증상이 11 마리 개 모두에서 확인 되지 않았다. 신체 검사에서 튜브 삽입 주위 피하 기종이 한 마리에서 관찰 되었으나 별다른 치료 없이 3일 후에 사라졌음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 음압 형성 후 평균 (${\pm}SD$) 추적 기간은 $19{\pm}10$ 개월 이었다. 결론적으로 넓은 등근 아래 흉강 튜브 삽입 방법은 튜브가 흉강 내 유지 될 때와 튜브 제거 후 남게 되는 터널을 통한 흉강 내 공기 유입 차단에 효과적이며 흉강 튜브 장착 시 우선적으로 고려 되야 할 방법으로 사료 된다.

The present study evaluated the outcome of use of thoracostomy tube tunneling technique under the latissimus dorsi muscle for the evacuation of postoperative pneumothorax induced by thoracotomy in 11 dogs. A stab incision was made through the skin and the latissimus dorsi muscle over the rib in the fifth intercostal space caudal to a surgical window. The thoracostomy tube with a Kelly hemostat was advanced into the thoracic cavity in a cranioventral direction through the sublatissimal tunnel. After tube placement, a # 1 nylon horizontal mattress suture was placed around the skin incision. The thoracostomy tube was removed after creating a negative pressure in the thoracic cavity. Dogs were monitored after surgery for pneumothorax, subcutaneous emphysema, clinical signs including dyspnea, and tube kinking in a muscle tunnel using physical examination and postoperative radiography. There was no tube kinking in the sublatissimal tunnel in 11 dogs on introducing the tubes into the thoracic cavity. The mean (${\pm}SD$) follow-up period was $19{\pm}10$ months. On postoperative radiography, there was no evidence of pneumothorax in 11 dogs. Subcutaneous emphysema was identified around the stab incision in a dog postoperatively. The subcutaneous emphysema disappeared spontaneously within 3 days. On postoperative physical examination, there was no evidence of dyspnea in 11 dogs. Our results suggest that the sublatissimal tunneling technique for thoracostomy tube placement is effective to prevent air leakage around the thoracostomy tube while the tube remains in the thoracic cavity and along the thoracostomy tunnel after tube removal. Tunneling under the latissimus dorsi muscle should be considered the thoracostomy tube placement technique to prevent iatrogenic pneumothorax with first priority.
