Intercostal drainage tubes (ie, chest tubes) are inserted to drain the pleural cavity of air, blood, pus, or lymph. The water-seal container connected to the chest tube allows one-way movement of air and liquid from the pleural cavity. The container should not be changed unless it is full, and the chest tube should not be clamped unnecessarily. After a chest tube is inserted, a nurse trained in chest-tube management is responsible for managing the chest tube and drainage system. This entails monitoring the chest-tube position, controlling fluid evacuation, identifying when to change or empty the containers, and caring for the tube and drainage system during patient transport. This article provides an overview of indications, insertion techniques, and management of chest tubes.

<zakljucak> Najcesci uzrok pneumotoraksa u jedinicama intenzivne nege je barotrauma. Pojava, rana dijagnostika i brzo i efikasno lecenje tenzijskog pneumotoraksa kod bolesnika na mehanickoj ventilaciji predstavljaju i veliki izazov. Kod bolesnika koji su ventilisani pod pozitivnim pritiskom, u slucaju pojave bilo kakvog poremecaja treba obavezno posumnjati na tenzijski pneumotoraks i preduzeti sve mere da se on potvrdi ili iskljuci. Kasno utvrdjena dijagnoza tenzijskog pneumotoraksa i neblagovremeno sprovedeno adekvatno lecenje predstavljaju veliki rizik od smrtnog ishoda.
