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.
The decision to place a chest tube. is based on the patient's underlying pulmonary condition as well as the amount of air or fluid in the pleural space. The goals of chest tube drainage are to: â¢ Remove the fluid and/or air as quickly as possible. â¢ Prevent drained air and/or fluid from re-entering the chest cavity.
