What is Chest Tube Underwater Seal Drainage

Thoracic drainage is to insert a thoracic drainage tube through the rib space of the chest wall, and fix it on the skin with a suture to avoid slip-off. The chest drainage tube is then connected with a drainage bottle for underwater drainage, or connected with a low-pressure suction device for suction, so that the lungs can be completely expanded without leakage. After the evaluation by doctors, the thoracic drainage tube can be removed.

Purpose

To remove the drainage of blood, pus, fluid or gas from the pleural cavity, and reconstruct the negative pressure in the pleura to facilitate the expansion of the lungs and restore the cardiopulmonary function, so as to allow the lungs to expand again.
