Chest tubes are frequently indicated for removing accumulated air or fluid from the pleural space due to a variety of conditions, such as pneumothorax, empyema, haemothorax or malignant pleural effusions for which a bedside pleurodesis procedure is planned [1]. Small-bore chest tubes (SBCT), defined as those having an outer diameter of 14 Fr or less, are recommended as a first-line approach in most situations, with the possible exception of haemothoraces. They are ordinarily placed by utilising the Seldinger technique and then secured after insertion to prevent accidental removal [2].

固定胸管:寻找难以捉摸的解决方案
由于各种情况,例如气胸、脓胸、血胸或恶性胸腔积液,胸膜腔常用于从胸膜腔清除积聚的空气或液体,这些情况需要进行床边胸膜固定术 [1]。小口径胸管 (SBCT) 定义为外径为 14 Fr 或更小的胸管,在大多数情况下被推荐作为一线方法,血胸可能除外。它们通常使用 Seldinger 技术放置,然后在插入后固定,以防止意外移除 [2]。
