Abstract

Inadvertent occlusion of tube thoracostomy drains by normal patient positioning can be not only a nuisance but also a potentially life-threatening problem. A method of splinting the pliable chest tube drains by using corrugated ventilator circuit tubing is described. This relatively simple and quick technique can help to prevent this undesired and potentially dangerous occlusion of chest tube drains.

摘要

因患者正常体位导致胸腔闭式引流管意外堵塞，不仅会带来不便，还可能危及生命。本文介绍一种使用波纹状呼吸机回路管道固定柔软胸管引流的方法。这种相对简单快捷的技术有助于防止胸管引流出现这种意外且潜在危险的堵塞情况。
