Competent chest tube management represents the mainstay of postoperative care for the cardiothoracic patient. Patency and integrity of mediastinal and pleural catheters is crucial to preservation of cardiopulmonary performance. Despite the relatively brief period of time these catheters dwell, knowledge of their placement, function, and current research findings relevant to their care is essential for appropriate nursing interventions. This article addresses application and management of chest tubes, autotransfusion techniques, and areas for future nursing research.
有效的胸管管理是心胸外科患者术后护理的主要内容。纵隔和胸膜导管的通畅性和完整性对于维持心肺功能至关重要。尽管这些导管留置时间相对较短，但了解其放置位置、功能以及与护理相关的当前研究结果对于适当的护理干预至关重要。本文探讨了胸管的应用与管理、自体输血技术以及未来护理研究的领域。
