Posted September 16, 201212 yr Dear all Can any one help me in finding video for inserting chest drain for pneumothorax and its proper way for fixation. Thanks
September 17, 201212 yr Try this: http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMvcm071974 This if for adults though...
November 28, 201311 yr Here is another video, showing how to insert a pig-tail chest tube: http://www.neoknowledge.org/chest-tube-pigtail/
September 17, 20159 yr I can't see NEJM video as it needs subscription. If any one has a free video I will be grateful. And other issue if u please , how can you know in neonates that your entry is not subcutaneous abd you are inside pleural space?
September 17, 20159 yr @alyelayyatHave a look at this video: http://www.neoknowledge.org/chest-tube-pigtail/Regarding knowing when you enter the pleural space - you'll feel it As you insert the tube rather high on the chest you will be certain that the tube is in the pleural cavity when you insert it, the "reciept" will be that you can aspirate air.
