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.
1 Your doctor will then gently open a space into your chest cavity and guide the tube into your chest. Chest tubes come in various sizes for different conditions.  Your doctor will stitch the chest tube in place to prevent it from moving. A sterile bandage will be applied over the insertion site. The tube is then attached to a special one-way drainage system that only allows air or fluid to flow out. This prevents the fluid or air from flowing back into the chest cavity.
