Chest tubes are used to drain fluid and air from around the heart after heart surgery. Some patients call them "garden hoses" because they big hose like tubes that are the first thing the patient notices when they wake up. Surgeons tend to choose larger rather than smaller tubes because the small tubes have a tendency to clog with blood and stop working. If the tube clogs and stops working while there is still bleeding in the early post operative period, blood can build up around the heart or lungs which can be life threatening. So the surgeons tend to choose larger tubes to try to minimize the potential for chest tube clogging.
