Is routine chest radiograph necessary after chest tube removal?
Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2014Obtaining a chest radiograph (CXR) after chest tube (CT) removal to rule out a pneumothorax is a universal practice. However, the yield of this CXR has not been well documented. Additionally, most iatrogenic pneumothoraces resulting from CT removal are atmospheric in origin, asymptomatic, and can be observed.

Thoracic Surgery Clinics, 2017
Despite the increasing knowledge about the pleural physiology after lung resection, most practices around chest tube removal are dictated by personal preferences and experience. This article discusses recently published data on the topic and suggests opportunities for further investigation and future improvements.

“Chest Tube” Removal after Liver Transgression
Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2012w OI: 10.1016/j.jvir.2011.10.010 rast medium showed a 30-F chest drain traversing the liver ith its tip adjacent to the porta hepatis. The patient was in hemodynamically stable condition nd was transferred to the interventional radiology unit for emoval of the chest drain. Initial fluoroscopy clearly howed the abnormal drain position (Fig 2).

Chest tube removal after cardiac surgery
Critical Care Nurse, 1997Prompt remove of chest tubes by RNs has allowed earlier and more aggressive ambulation of our patients and, along with other interventions, has decreased length of stay by 1.5 days while improving quality of care. Proper education, both didactic and clinical, is the key component in preparing RNs to safely and effectively perform this procedure.

The efficacy of x-rays after chest tube removal
The American Journal of Surgery, 2000The insertion and subsequent removal of chest tubes are frequently performed procedures. We hypothesize that routine chest radiographs obtained after chest tube removal to confirm the absence of any post-procedure complications have little impact on clinical management.A 5-year retrospective study of 73 patients with tube thoracotomies was performed in

Chest Tube Removal: End-Inspiration or End-Expiration?
The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 2001Recurrent pneumothorax is the most significant complication after discontinuation of thoracostomy tubes. The primary objective of the present study was to determine which method of tube removal, at the end of inspiration or at the end of expiration, is associated with a lesser risk of developing a recurrent pneumothorax.

Journal of the American College of Surgeons, 2002
Operative procedures on the pleural space are usually managed by chest tube drainage. Timing for removing the tube is empirically established, with wide variation among surgeons. Our objective was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of establishing a volume of 200 mL/d of uninfected drainage as a threshold for removal of chest tube, as compared ...
