NCLEX Chest Tube Nursing Management - Troubleshooting Air Leaked - Pneumothorax

Chest tube is inserted to create negative pressure in the chest cavity and allow re-expansion of the lung. It helps remove air (pneumothorax), blood (hemothorax), fluid (pleural effusion or hydrothorax), or purulence (empyema) from the intrathoracic space.

Dear RN Khoa, I passed my NCLEX July 2023 ( FIRST TRY) thank you to your videos ( all of them).
You emphasized on ur video the precautions😂 I know them all by" heart". Thanks to you.

You don't understand how many times I Rewatch your must-know content videos.
My husband and I are both in the nursing program, he is also a fan of yours.

You are truly kind and giving.
My friend failed her NCLEX-RN and I linked your video to her.
She passed the exam last week.

Anyway, I got hired to the ICU. I'm super scared.

If you don't mind, can you share your experience as a new grad in the ICU?

I know a lot of us new grad would appreciate that.

Thank you for your time and wonderful knowledge that you share with us.

Sending you a lot of love from San Antonio Texas.
Trinh RN.

( oh make sure you put new grad ICU in the topic, it is easier to find them that way).

When you say you hold the tube are you clamping it?

How do you transport this patient. Let’s say the patient is in the ER and you need to take them to the ICU, what are you disconnecting? Also, what do you do if the chest tube gets knocked down?
