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.
Common reasons why a chest tube is needed include: â . and make it easier for the patient to breathe. Collapsed lung (pneumothorax)â. This occurs. when air has built up in the area around the. lungs (the pleural space) from a leak in the lung. This leak may be the result of lung disease. It can. also occur as a complication of certain medical. procedures. Chest tubes are frequently needed. to remove air from around the lung.
