tube thoracostomy
Tube thoracostomy is a common procedure to drain fluids and/or air from the pleural space via an ICD. (biomedcentral.com)
The British Thoracic Society (BTS) has published a guideline [ 1 ] for ICD insertion which in many institutions has been deployed as a standard approach to tube thoracostomy in both practice and training programs. (biomedcentral.com)
Shortly after tube thoracostomy the patient started to develop a large subcutaneous emphysema originating in the right moving towards the left side of the chest wall. (biomedcentral.com)
Previously the risks of ICD insertion in patients on mechanical ventilation has been described [ 5 ] however we presented the above case due to frequent referral of patients on mechanical ventilation to us with harmful complications of tube thoracostomy. (biomedcentral.com)

insertion
Tube thoracostomy is the insertion of a tube (chest tube) into the pleural cavity to drain air, blood, bile, pus, or other fluids. (medscape.com)

finger thoracostomy
I've recently written about the merits of needle vs finger thoracostomy. (thetraumapro.com)

Thoracoscopy
For further information on other techniques see Medical Thoracoscopy and Tube Thoracostomy Management . (medscape.com)
Frequently performed, less invasive procedures include mediastinoscopy, tube thoracostomy, pleuroscopy or thoracoscopy, and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). (oncologynurseadvisor.com)
Group 1 was treated with simple tube thoracostomy and group 2 with surgical debridement with thoracotomy or thoracoscopy and patients had at least 2 referral after discharge. (ac.ir)

placement
Therefore, the classic technique described in this article is the highly recommended one for emergency department thoracostomy tube placement. (medscape.com)
What is the alternate technique for thoracostomy tube placement? (brainscape.com)
Tube thoracostomy, or chest tube placement, may be used effectively for the diagnosis and management of a number of conditions, including pneumothorax, hemothorax, and pleural effusion from a variety of etiologies. (oncologynurseadvisor.com)

fluid
[ 1 ] However, most thoracic injuries may be effectively treated with tube thoracostomy and simple fluid resuscitation. (medscape.com)
When can the thoracostomy tube be removed when dealing with air vs. fluid? (brainscape.com)
Tube thoracostomy may be performed relatively quickly to drain fluid or evacuate air from the chest. (oncologynurseadvisor.com)
Thoracostomy tubes are used in neonatal intensive care units for evacuation of air or fluid from the pleural space. (doctorlib.info)

Trauma
Prospective randomized trial of 205 trauma patients, older than 15 years of age, requiring tube thoracostomy for blunt and penetrating trauma. (nih.gov)
Does chest tube location or size matter for tube thoracostomy in trauma patients? (hospitalprocedures.org)

emergent
The need for emergent thoracotomy is an absolute contraindication to tube thoracostomy. (medscape.com)
Since these patients already have poor oxygen reserve, emergent tube thoracostomy may be indicated to help prevent impending tension pneumothorax or cardiovascular collapse [ 1 ]. (hindawi.com)

complications
Common complications of chest tube thoracostomy (CTT) include lung laceration, chest wall bleeding, improper position of tube, subcutaneous emphysema, and so on. (yu.ac.kr)

procedure
Tube thoracostomy is a bedside procedure in which a drainage tube is placed into the pleural space via a small incision. (oncologynurseadvisor.com)
Tube thoracostomy is a common procedure to drain fluids and/or air from the pleural space via an ICD. (biomedcentral.com)

Surgical
Sokouti M, Yazdani B, Jafari Jebeli S. Simple tube thoracostomy versus surgical debridement in complicated parapneumonic empyema management. (ac.ir)
Therefore, this research aimed to compare the effect of simple tube thoracostomy versus surgical debridement in complicated parapneumonic empyema management. (ac.ir)

chest wall
Shortly after tube thoracostomy the patient started to develop a large subcutaneous emphysema originating in the right moving towards the left side of the chest wall. (biomedcentral.com)

patients
The use of antibiotics for patients undergoing tube thoracostomy was determined to be highly variable based on a study conducted at a national meeting of surgeons. (nih.gov)
The results of this meta-analysis suggest that antibiotics should be used in patients undergoing tube thoracostomy. (nih.gov)
One of the arguments against needle thoracostomy is that it may not reach into the chest cavity in obese patients. (thetraumapro.com)

tension
A patient with a pneumothorax who is undergoing positive pressure ventilation should also undergo tube thoracostomy because of the risk of tension pneumothorax. (oncologynurseadvisor.com)

patient
We present a case of a patient who after a tube thoracostomy for spontaneous pneumothorax developed severe bradycardia that was responsive to Atropine. (hindawi.com)
