“…have several openings at one end of the tube section (which resides inside the patient wall) and have a rounded end 3,12 . Nontheless, chest tubes are placed on a superior position for air removal (tube placed high) and placed on an inferior position, primarily for fluid removal (tube placed low) 1,2,4,12 .…”
| Context:The drained pleural contents may vary, as well as their drainage, however closed drainage system is the most frequent one and reaches flaws along those who are in charge of their management. Objetive: Provide a comprehensive review about close chest drainage. Methods: A systematic search of the PubMed and Medline databases was conducted on closed drainage system using the following keyword combination: chest tubes AND drainage. Results: From eight hundred eight-three articles retrieved after our preliminary search, 17 articles were chosen for final analysis. Representative schemes were drawn to better understanding of the three types of chest drainage systems for pleura effusion: (i) the closed drainage system; (ii) the open drainage system; and (iii) the suction drainage system. Representative pictures were also developed in order to facilitate additional care in the field. Conclusions: Bringing information together about chest tube management in closed drainage system may imply in a better approach to the patients, minimize institutional cost, minimize material waste and promote efficient communication among the multidisciplinary staff. Understanding details about tubular tube, pig tail tube, one-way bag, one-way valve and collectors is the only way to perform a better approach to the patient who needs closed drainage system.

“…"Professor Jatene has dedicated himself, body and soul, to this mission." 6 Jatene was a founder and president of the Brazilian Society of Cardiovascular Surgery, president of the Brazilian Cardiology Society, and president of the International Society for Cardiovascular Surgery. He was the recipient of 178 titles and honours from more than 10 nations.…”
“…And it is precisely the human being that has been the central focus of Professor Jatene's existence.'' 1 The World Society for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery enjoyed the unique good fortune of having Professor Jatene as the keynote speaker during the Society's Fourth Scientific Meeting held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in July 2014. It came as no surprise that this inaugural lecture on surgical innovation included a detailed account of the motivating factors and decades of surgical experience that culminated in the first successful anatomic repair of transposition of the great arteries.…”

“…In fact, for this octogenarian youth—recognized as an admirable scientist, surgeon and teacher, an audacious public administrator and the head of an exemplary family of four children (three of them also physicians) and ten grandchildren—the time is always now, because it is in the present that human beings become complete in all their facets. And it is precisely the human being that has been the central focus of Professor Jatene’s existence.” 1…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
