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.

Andreas93 [3]

Pregnancy has no effect on blood flow. receiving a blood transfusion increases blood flow greatly.

<h3>What is blood transfusion?</h3>

Intravenously putting blood components into a person's circulation is known as a blood transfusion. For a number of medical disorders, transfusions are performed to replenish lost blood components.

Patients who have sustained major injuries in vehicle accidents or natural disasters are treated with blood transfusions. Blood transfusions are frequently given to people who have a condition like leukemia or kidney disease, both of which can induce anemia.

Through a little tube inserted into a vein in your arm, donated blood is given to you as part of a standard medical operation known as a blood transfusion. Blood lost during surgery or an accident can be replaced with the aid of this potentially life-saving technique.

jasenka [17]

Answer:

The correct option is : a. serous fluid in the pericardial cavity

Explanation:

The heart is enclosed in a sac containing the heart, known as the  pericardium. The pericardium has two layers- fibrous and serous layer.

The serous layer of the pericardium produces and secretes the pericardial fluid into the pericardial cavity.

The pericardial fluid is a lubricating serous fluid present in the pericardial cavity. It reduces the friction caused between the pericardial membranes by lubricating the epicardial surface.
