A thoracostomy tube is indicated in patients with a pneumothorax, hemothorax, or pleural effusion. Small, asymptomatic pneumothoraces or hemothoraces do not need drainage. However, liberal thoracostomy tube placement should be considered in small pneumothoraces in patients on mechanical ventilation or for planned air transportation, because of the

Abstract There are few technical skills that surpass in value the performance of tube thoracostomy. Throughout the career life span of the physician, probability dictates that at least one patient will be encountered who will require pleural drainage. And yet equal in magnitude to the perceived benefits, are the inherent risks, which for
