When the chest tube is disconnected from the chest tube drainage system, immediately clump the tube and place the end of the tube in sterile water and the two end need to be swabbed with alcohol and should be reconnected back.

A chest tube drainage system is a disposable and sterile system that includes a compartment system that has a one-way valve, with multiple chambers to remove air or fluid and prevent the return of them back into the patient. A chest tube drainage system consists of three chambers a Collection chamber, a Water-seal chamber, Wet or dry suction control chamber. the chest tube is a sterile tube with several drainage holes that are inserted into the pleural space. The chest tube is connected to a closed chest drainage system, which allows for fluid or air to be drained, and prevents them from entering the pleural space, the system is airtight to avoid the inflow of atmospheric pressure.
