25
Q

What does a Chest tube do?

A

It reestablishes negative pressure in the pleural space to allow for lung to expand.

26
Q

What does a chest tube remove for a pneumothorax

A

Air

27
Q

What does a chest tube remove for a hemothorax

A

blood

28
Q

Is Bubbling expected in a chest tube for a pneumothorax?

A

Yes

29
Q

Is bubbling expected in a C tube for a hemothorax

A

No it should be Draining is instead

30
Q

Apical chest tubes removes what

A

Air

31
Q

Basilar C- tubes remove what

A

blood and body fluids

32
Q

Trauma and surgery pts assume that they get what? unilateral or bilat chest tubes?

A

Assume unilateral unless specified

33
Q

Chest tubes can be used for which one pneumonectomy or lobectomy?

A

A lobectomy

34
Q

What happens if a drainage device is knocked over

A

Ask pt to take a deep breath and set it up right, not an emergency

35
Q

What are the order of steps done if a water seal breaks

A
  1. Clamp
  2. Cut the tube
    3.submurge end of tube under steril water
  3. unclamp
36
Q

Most important step to do when water seal breaks

A

Submerge end of tube in sterile water

37
Q

What if Ctube gets pulled out?

A
  1. Take gloved hand and cover it
  2. Take a sterile vaseline gauze and tape 3 sides
38
Q

The best step or priority if chest tube gets pulled out is

A

Take a sterile vaseline gauze and tape 3 sides

39
Q

bubbling in a water seal chamber is good whe it occurs

A

intermittently and not continuous (this indicates a leak)

40
Q

Bubbling in a suction control chamber is good only when it occurs

A

continously!
If its only intermittent, pressure is too low and needs to be increased.

41
Q

What has a higher risk of infection a thoracentesis or C-Tube

A

The Chest tube

42
Q

How long can you clamp a tube for?

A

no more than 15 seconds and use rubber tooth double clamps.
