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.
Air or fluid may leak into the pleural cavity. A chest tube is inserted and a closed chest drainage system is attached to promote drainage of air and fluid. Chest tubes are used after chest surgery and chest trauma and for pnuemothorax or hemothorax to promote lung re-expansion. Terms and definitions.
