<h3>How does a chest tube work? </h3>

An air or fluid drain from the chest is done using a plastic tube called a chest tube. The lung may collapse if air or fluid (such as blood or pus) builds up in the pleural space, which is located between the lungs and the chest wall.

The main risks associated with chest tube insertion are bleeding and infection, just like with any surgical procedure. During placement, professionals take care to avoid the blood vessels that run along the underside of the ribs. The entire procedure is carried out in a sterile manner to prevent spreading an infection.
