How long should a chest tube be left in after it has been placed for the treatment of a collasped lung?
The duration a chest tube should remain in place after treatment for a collapsed lung (pneumothorax) typically depends on the size of the pneumothorax and the patient's clinical condition. Generally, it may be left in for a few days to a week, or until imaging shows adequate lung re-expansion and the patient is stable. The healthcare provider will assess the situation and make a decision based on the individual case. Regular monitoring and follow-up imaging are crucial to determine when it can be safely removed.
