Chest Tube Placement. When a chest tube is inserted for a collapsed lung, a small area on the chest is numbed by using a local anesthetic. The tube is then inserted, and connected to a machine which uses suction to remove the air, thus allowing the lung to re-expand. The tube is sutured in place so it wonât pull out with movement.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW: A chest tube is also known as chest drain or chest drainage tube. It is a plastic tube that is put through the side of your chest. It is placed to remove air, blood, or fluid from around your lungs. The lungs are covered by two layers of tissue called pleura. Between these two layers is a small space called the pleural space.
