An indirect cost rate represents the ratio between the total indirect costs and benefiting direct costs, after excluding and or reclassifying unallowable costs, and extraordinary or distorting expenditures.ooking at it another way, indirect costs are those costs that are not classified as direct. Direct costs can be identified specifically with particular cost objectives such as a grant, contract, project, function or activity.
Chest Tube Placement. When a chest tube is inserted for a collapsed lung, a small area on the chest is numbed by using a local anesthetic. The tube is then inserted, and connected to a machine which uses suction to remove the air, thus allowing the lung to re-expand. The tube is sutured in place so it wonât pull out with movement.
There are four common conditions than can require surgical chest tube insertion, including: 1  pneumothorax (air leak from the lung into the chest) 2  hemothorax (bleeding into the chest) 3  empyema (lung abscess or pus in the chest)  pneumothorax or hemothorax after surgery or from trauma to the chest.
