Q

The tip of the glass tube that connects to the chest drain should be at least 2cm below the fluid level in the bottle
(and not - below the fluid level).

A

more than 7 cm

22
Q

Swinging or oscillation of the column of water in the glass tube connected to the chest drain is monitored every

A

4 hours:

23
Q

monitored every 4 hours

A
  1. vital signs
  2. swinging/oscillation
  3. blowing/bubbling (if theres bubbling in drainage bottle = lung is still leaking air)
  4. vital signs
24
Q

need to be monitored every 4 hours: Blowing or air bubbling in drainage bottle with quiet respiration and on coughing (Bubbling of air indicates that
the

A

lung is still leaking air.

25
Q

the following items need to be
monitored every 4 hours in chest tube thoracostomy

A

vital signs, Swinging or oscillation of the column of water, Blowing or air bubbling in drainage bottle, dressing site

26
Q

When chest tubes are inserted, they must be connected to a - that allows air and fluid to be removed from the chest cavity but prevents air from entering
the outside

A

sealed drainage system or one way valve

27
Q

sealed drainage systems typically have a

A

suction control chamber, a water seal chamber and a closed collection chamber for drainage

28
Q

system that when the client inhales, the water prevents air from entering the system from the atmosphere.

A

water seal system

29
Q
  • can be added to the system to facilitate removing air and
    secretions from the chest cavity.
A

Suction

30
Q

in chest tube thoracostomy, Assess the

A

vital signs, oxygen saturation, cardiovascular status
and respiratory status.

31
Q

Check breath sounds - and check for symmetry of breath sounds

A

bilaterally

32
Q

in chest thoracostomy, this must be done every 2 hours

A
  • Encourage deep breathing and coughing exercises
  • Reposition client
33
Q

Avoid aggressive chest tube manipulation if necessary - such as squeezing hand over hand along the tubing and releasing the tubing between squeezes may help improve patency

A

gentle technique

34
Q

Avoid clamping the tube as this increase the risk of

You can clamp the tube for a moment to replace a drainage unit or to locate the source of leak

A

tension pneumothorax.

35
Q

If the tube becomes disconnected from the collecting system, submerge the end in 1 - to maintain the seal

A

sterile water

36
Q

If unadvertently pulled out, the wound should be cover with a -

A

dry sterile dressing

37
Q

When transporting and ambulating the client:
a. Keep the water seal unit -
b. Disconnect the drainage system from the suction apparatus
before moving the client make sure that the air vent is open

A

below chest level and upright

38
Q

– The cessation of bubbling during both quiet respiration and coughing indicates that the air leak in the lung has .)

A

closed

39
Q

Type and quantity of drainage (Inform practitioner if drainage is

A

> 100 mL/h or if frank blood.

40
Q

Never lift the drainage bottle above the level of the patient’s
chest, as fluid from the bottle may - off into the
patient’s chest.

    or clots.
A

“Milk”

44
Q

Change the connecting tube and bottle at least - and replace them with sterile equivalents.

A

once every 48 hours

A

present

50
Q

REMOVING CHEST TUBES
ASSESSMENT

Clamp chest tube - hours before removal, or as ordered by the physician. Assess for changes in vital signs, chest pain, and level of apprehension.

A
