[Crucial Techniques for Chest Tube Placement and Postoperative Management].
Kyobu Geka. the Japanese Journal of Thoracic Surgery 2023 September
Postoperative management of thoracic surgery with an indwelling chest tube is common, and knowledge about it is essential. A postoperative chest tube has four roles:1) to reinflate the lung, 2) to observe the condition of the thoracic cavity and acquire information regarding the outcomes, 3) to prevent complications, and 4) to treat pulmonary air leaks and empyema (chemical pleurodesis et ct). Although postoperative complications have decreased in recent years following advances in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery( VATS) and devices such as stapling devices and vascular sealing systems (VSS), postoperative chest tube placement is still common. Therefore, a thorough knowledge of chest tube management is extremely important in thoracic surgery. Here, we have described, in detail, the management of a postoperative chest tube at our hospital.
