I had a breast reduction yesterday and one of my drainage tubes came out. Is this an emergency? I have nurses coming this morning.
Chest tubes are commonly connected to a drainage collection device. This device uses a water seal to maintain the chest tube. The drainage collects in a chamber and is measured in milliliters.
yes
A closed chest tube drainage system typically consists of three main components: a chest tube, a drainage chamber, and a suction control chamber. The chest tube is inserted into the pleural space to remove air, fluid, or blood. The drainage chamber collects the fluid, while the suction control chamber regulates the negative pressure to enhance drainage. This system is designed to prevent air from re-entering the pleural space, ensuring effective treatment and monitoring of the patient's condition.
Nasogastric tube drainage refers to the process of using a tube inserted through the nose, down the esophagus, and into the stomach to remove gastric contents. This type of drainage is typically used for decompression of the stomach, removal of gastric secretions, or in preparation for surgery. It can also be employed for feeding patients who are unable to swallow. The drainage can be either continuous or intermittent, depending on the clinical need.
