What is Chest Tube Insertions?
Chest tube insertion, also known as tube thoracostomy, is a medical procedure in which a soft, flexible tube is placed between the ribs into the chest cavity to remove unwanted air, fluid, or blood. This procedure is often required in conditions like a collapsed lung (pneumothorax), pleural effusion (fluid around the lungs), chest infections (empyema), or bleeding inside the chest (hemothorax). It may also be performed after chest surgeries or injuries. By draining the air or fluid, the chest tube allows the lungs to expand fully, making it easier for the patient to breathe and recover safely.
How Does the Procedure Work?
Preparation
The patient is positioned, and the skin is cleaned. Local anesthesia is given to numb the area.
Small Incision
A small cut is made on the side of the chest, usually between the ribs.
Tube Insertion:
A flexible plastic tube is carefully inserted into the chest cavity.
Connection to Drainage:
The tube is attached to a drainage system to collect air, fluid, or blood.
Lung Expansion
The tube allows trapped air or fluid to escape, helping the lungs expand fully.
Monitoring:
Doctors monitor the patient and the drainage to ensure proper lung function.
Tube Removal:
Once the lung is fully expanded and drainage stops, the chest tube is safely removed.
