Chest Tube Physiology Review

Continuing the chest tube series, in this lesson I explain some important concepts in chest tube physiology. We start off with a review over the alterations and disruptions of the pleural space that warrant chest tubes, and then explain what chest tubes are, why we use them and how it is that they work to achieve our purpose.

I just accepted an ICU position as a new grad and I watch your videos before my interview. I was asked about pressors and sedatives and I was able to answer those questions thanks to you! My new boss was very impressed I had that knowledge as a new grad. Thank you so much! I definitely subscribed and will be coming back for more. Thank you!

Crystal-clear. I’m an anesthetist who has been working more than 15 years in ICU (training included). I never take anything for granted, certainly not on the professional level despite my exerience. Your streams are a blessing those who want to stay tuned, improve, refresh or just learn.

This is one of the best Chest Tube explanatory videos I've watched. I'm teaching 3rd year nurses in Australia and came across your video to refresh my knowledge - I couldn't have asked for a clearer overview. I'll be staying tuned for more great content! Keep it up.

The relationship between the intrapleural pressure and transpulmonray pressure really help bring the overall idea of the CT full circle. Thanks Eddie!

[arielestrada]

You are the reason why I am going to graduate nursing school! I watched all your videos for my CV, shock and hemodynamics unit exam. Class average was a 69% but thanks to you I was able to not only understand but scored a 85%. Thank you for everything you do!

[berryblueswirl]

Thank you for this video. I am the patient who spent 10 days with the modern version of this setup after 14 months with pleural catheters and vacuum drainage bottles at home. Started at the beginning of Covid-19 (4/2020), ended with mrsa (6/2021) at end of effusions. Looking at device I was hooked up to, bilateral devices and ct's it was hard to tell what volumes came from where. As a scientist, it was an interesting experience that was successful. All clear now to the amazement of my caregivers, family and friends. (They all let me know this.) Glad to learn more about it from the non-pt perspective.

Thank you so much for taking the time to create these videos! As a COVID-19 graduate, we did not experience a lot of clinical rotations so I never got a chance to really see how this all works together. I have watched other videos and lectures but this was so much more understandable and clear to me.

[timothymoore]

Great work! I particularly liked the way you broke down the function of the three different collection, seal and suction system then showed how they are combined in the modern equipment. Keep up the good work!

[aresha]

Thank you.Very informative.I have inserted many chest drains but never really understood how the bottles work.You made it very clear

[tshep]

This was brilliant. In some rural parts of south africa we still use the the two bottle system for our chest drains. I never knew we could use a third bottle to suction...
I enjoyed this video

[JGPRAISINGOD]

Excellent video! Your skill of communication with the drawings makes learning so much more memorable, in depth, and easy to understand!

[debbymendoza]

I've have done 3 different critical care training programs and non of them have explain chest tubes as clearly as you! Thank you 💗

[deardiary]

U re reading my mind! I searched this topic on your channel last night 🤩 and boom 💥 it is here❤️

[astridyethan]

muchas gracias! no había entendido nada en mi clase hasta que vi tus videos! my hero!

[medisch]

Thank you so much for this brilliant explanation! This really made the subject a lot easier to understand.

[seyonkim]

Thank you sooo much you’re such a lifesaver!!!! I subscribed right away😊😊 you make learning 10 times easier and 100 times interesting than my professors😂😂😂 Love from Korea!!!!

[kristofferandrewmagarin]

GREAT! This is very helpful, especially that I'm taking the NCLEX examination this October. Thank you thank you!

[Steven-nujc]

This was the most concise explanation of chest tubes I've ever received. Thank you so much.

[meganseder]

This video is amazing!! Studying for my RN tests and this content helps to visualize how it all works!! Love it!

[embfly]

Well done!
Wish I knew all that when my father was in the ICU after his heart transplant.
