Pulmonary Self-Study Resources-Small Bore Chest Tubes

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speakers demonstrate the technique for small-bore percutaneous chest tube placement. They review the components of the Wayne Pneumothorax kit and discuss the landmarks for safe placement. They use ultrasound to confirm the presence of a pneumothorax and proceed with local anesthesia. They insert the introducer needle into the pleural space and then the guide wire. A small incision is made, followed by dilation of the tract. The chest tube is then inserted and secured. Finally, a dressing is applied.
