Fig 2 (Left) Mean time (±SE) from skin closure to last observed air leak, showing a statistically significant difference between the control and treatment group: p = (Middle) Mean time from skin closure to chest tube removal: p = 0.41 (N.S. = not significant). (Right) Mean time from skin closure to hospital discharge: p = 0.78 (N.S. = not significant).
