Spot On: Indocyanine Green-Soaked Fiducial Markers for Lung Nodules Prior to Thoracic Surgery
Peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) often require a tissue diagnosis to guide treatment, but surgical resection may lead to healthy tissue being removed if the lesion is difficult to localize. A study in CHEST® Pulmonary identified the impact of using indocyanine green-soaked fiducial markers to mark PPLs before surgery compared with unmarked resected PPLs.
Lactation Practices in Critically Ill Patients
Little is known about lactation practices in patients who are critically ill. A study in CHEST® Critical Care analyzed the lactation rates and practices in adult patients in the ICU to determine potential barriers to lactation and resource use. One gap found was delays in lactation initiation in intubated patients.
