Biofilms are structured bacterial communities that adhere to surfaces and can promote infection and antibiotic resistance. In this study, small samples from the tips of chest drains will be collected under sterile conditions at the time of drain removal and analyzed in the microbiology laboratory.\n\nThe main objectives are to evaluate the relationship between the duration of chest drain placement and the presence of biofilm, and to identify the antibiotic resistance profiles of microorganisms isolated from these biofilms. Secondary outcomes include the association between biofilm formation, postoperative infections (such as empyema or wound infection), and the length of hospital stay.\n\nThis study will be conducted at Ondokuz Mayıs University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Thoracic Surgery, in collaboration with the Department of Microbiology. The findings are expected to contribute to better understanding of optimal drain management and infection prevention strategies after thoracic surgery.",[25,26,27,28],"Biofilms","Thoracic Surgery","Postoperative Infection","Antibiotic Resistance, Bacterial","RECRUITING","2025-11-16",{"date":32,"type":33},"2025-11-19","ACTUAL",{"date":35,"type":33},"2025-10-01",{"date":37,"type":20},"2026-07-01",{"name":39,"class":40},"Caner İşevi, MD","OTHER",1,{"id":43,"slug":44,"hasResults":11,"nctId":45,"briefTitle":46,"officialTitle":47,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":48,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":16,"minAge":17,"maxAge":49,"enrollmentInfo":50,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":52,"phases":53,"briefSummary":55,"conditions":56,"keywords":4,"overallStatus":61,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":30,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":62,"startDateStruct":64,"completionDateStruct":66,"leadSponsor":68,"locationsCount":41},"100611284","effectiveness-of-an-innovative-chest-stabilizer-in-rib-fracture-treatment-impact-on-respiratory-function-complications-and-clinical-outcomes-100611284","NCT07238582","Effectiveness of an Innovative Chest Stabilizer in Rib Fracture Treatment: Impact on Respiratory Function, Complications, and Clinical Outcomes","Effectiveness of an Innovative Chest Stabilizer in the Treatment of Rib Fractures: Impact on Respiratory Function, Complications, and Clinical Outcomes","Inclusion Criteria:\n\nAdults aged 18 to 80 years.

Rib fractures often lead to severe pain, breathing difficulties, and complications such as pneumonia or atelectasis.
