2024年6月13日 · Intercostal catheters (ICC), or informally chest tubes, are inserted into the pleural space to drain fluid and/or air. They typically refer to large-bore (10-14 Fr) drains placed under direct vision rather than percutaneous pigtail catheters (6 …

2024年10月14日 · Lines and tubes are important components in chest radiographic evaluation. See: nasogastric tube positioning. See: nasopharyngeal airway tube. See: evaluation of endotracheal tube position. See: intercostal catheter. See: temperature probe. See: intra-aortic balloon pump. Systematic chest radiograph assessment:

This tutorial describes the correct anatomical location following placement of common tube devices seen on chest X-rays. The following are discussed: endotracheal tubes (ET Tubes), nasogastric tubes (NG Tubes), central venous catheters (CV Catheters), and chest drains.

Imaging follow-up includes a chest X-ray within 24 hours of chest tube placement. Daily imaging is not always needed, particularly if bedside assessment provides data that the chest tube is stable in position and is functioning.

2022年10月3日 · Physicians use a chest tube to create negative pressure in the chest cavity and allow lung re-expansion. It helps remove air (pneumothorax), blood (hemothorax), fluid (pleural effusion or hydrothorax), chyle (chylothorax), or purulence …

A pleural effusion or a pneumothorax can be treated by positioning a tube into the pleural cavity. Chest drains are usually inserted through the chest wall in the mid-axillary line. The superior/inferior and medial/lateral positioning of the tube can be determined on a chest X-ray.

2022年4月26日 · NG tube position on chest x-ray (summary) This is a basic article for medical students and other non-radiologists Nasogastric (NG) tube position on chest x-ray should be assessed following initial placement and on subsequent radiographs.

2017年8月1日 · •Higher rate of detecting malpositioned tubes with chest xrays than physical exam •Patient with ETT in place –clinical indications only (9) •Radiographic evaluation NOT indicated:

A chest X-ray is often acquired following placement of an endotracheal tube (ET tube) to determine the position of its tip. The trachea, carina and main bronchi are almost always identifiable on a chest X-ray image, as long as the image is viewed on a high quality screen in a darkened room.

2016年3月26日 · The insertion of the chest tube has to be done after accurate clinical examination and after review of the X-ray, chest CT or ultrasound. The only exclusion is the urgent, clinical suspicion of a tension pneumothorax with loss of blood pressure, hypoxemia, tachypnoea, superior vena cava syndrome and high ventilation pressures.
