Description

A size 22 chest tube is a flexible, sterile tube with an outer diameter of approximately 7.3 millimeters, used to drain air, fluid, or pus from the pleural space. It is commonly utilized in adults for managing conditions such as pneumothorax, hemothorax, pleural effusion, and postoperative drainage after thoracic surgery. The tube is inserted through a small incision in the chest wall and connected to a drainage system, facilitating continuous evacuation of air or fluid and aiding lung re-expansion. The size 22 chest tube is chosen for its balance of effective drainage capacity and ease of insertion, ensuring patient comfort and therapeutic efficacy.
