What is Thoracic Catheter ?
A thoracic catheter, also known as a chest tube, is a flexible tube inserted into the chest to remove air, fluid, or blood from the pleural cavity, commonly used in the management of pneumothorax, pleural effusion, and hemothorax. This video provides a comprehensive overview of thoracic catheter insertion, exploring the procedure, its uses, potential complications, and post-procedure care. Learn about the indications for thoracic catheter insertion, including the presence of air or fluid in the pleural space causing respiratory compromise, chest pain, or hemodynamic instability, and the importance of prompt intervention to relieve symptoms and prevent complications. Discover the step-by-step process of thoracic catheter insertion, including patient preparation, local anesthesia administration, site selection, incision, and insertion of the catheter into the pleural cavity under sterile conditions, and the confirmation of proper placement using imaging studies or chest auscultation. Explore the potential complications of thoracic catheter insertion, such as pneumothorax, hemothorax, infection, and organ injury, and the strategies for minimizing these risks through proper technique, sterile technique, and close monitoring during and after the procedure. Learn about post-procedure care for patients with a thoracic catheter, including monitoring for drainage output, assessing respiratory status, pain management, and removal of the catheter once drainage ceases and lung re-expansion occurs. Whether you're a healthcare professional, student, or someone interested in thoracic procedures, this guide offers valuable insights into understanding and performing thoracic catheter insertion safely and effectively.
