What is the types of intercostal drainage?
Intercostal drainage primarily involves two types: simple drainage and drainage with a chest tube. Simple drainage usually refers to the removal of fluid or air using a needle or catheter, often for smaller pleural effusions. Chest tube drainage, on the other hand, is a more invasive procedure involving the insertion of a tube into the pleural space to continuously remove larger volumes of fluid or air, such as in cases of pneumothorax or significant pleural effusion. Both techniques aim to relieve pressure on the lungs and restore normal respiratory function.
