Video Summary
This video focuses on the placement of the Pleurex Tunneled Pleural Catheter. The video begins by reviewing the items in the Pleurex TPC insertion kit, including lidocaine and drapes. The first step is sterilization, followed by administering local analgesia with lidocaine. A filter needle and angiocatheter are used for entry into the pleural space, followed by the insertion of a wire through the catheter. The next step is making an incision and assembling the catheter with a tunneler. Two dilators may be used, depending on the patient's condition. Once the catheter is inserted, sutures are used to close the incision. Drainage is then performed using a lockable drainage line and vacuum drainage bottles. The video emphasizes the use of ultrasound to identify the optimal insertion site. After drainage, the catheter is capped and dressed. Chest x-ray is performed, and the patient is educated on catheter use and provided with drainage equipment for home use.
