Standard wound management included debridement and sterile probing, extending the level of exploration to the depth of the wound. Univariable and multivariable binary logistic regression were used to assess risk factors for exploratory thoracotomy, lung lobectomy, and mortality.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Twenty\u2010five dogs underwent exploratory thoracotomy, including lung lobectomy in 12 of these dogs.

Presence of pleural effusion (OR 12.1, CI 1.2\u2010120.2, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .033) and obtaining a positive bacterial culture (OR 23.4, CI 1.6\u2010337.9, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .021) were associated with increased odds of mortality. The level of wound management correlated with the length of hospitalization (Spearman rank order correlation = 0.52, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.001) but was not associated with mortality.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Dogs that sustained pseudo\u2010flail chest, rib fracture, or pneumothorax were more likely to undergo exploratory thoracotomy.
