Today’s video is all about chest tube nursing management for Nursing Students and NCLEX Review.

Chest tubes are used to drain fluid from around the lungs and into a drainage bag. The process can be painful for patients, but chest tube nursing management is necessary for treating several conditions.

It's a tricky, delicate procedure – and as a nurse, it requires you to have an expert grasp on the anatomy of the lungs and chest cavity.

One thing I'd like to add that not many people mention is when you add the occlusive dressing, the side that is not taped over must face the ground depending on the positioning of the patient. So if they are laying down, point it down or if sitting up. Don't simply just point it towards their feet.

Nurse Mike, thank you so much. I used all your videos I passed my Nclex. God Bless you and your family!

[nnennanwogu]

I have come to say thank to simple nursing, I passed my Nclex today. I tried to watch all your videos but I couldn't, because I heard about you one before my exams. Thank you again and again

[suzettericketts]

Excellent lesson. I’ve searched for three days to get the correct drainage amount and color, then you nailed it!! Thank you

[halflatino]

I remember watching your videos while in nursing school back in 2015-2017, these new videos are a definite step up from when you made videos just using dry erase markers and a white board.
