Thoraxik / Thokhar Catheter . What is it used for? And how are they different?
The purpose of chest drainage is to remove fluid and air as quickly as possible. and prevents the drained air and fluid from returning to the pleural space. This causes the pressure in the pleural space to become negative again so that the lungs can function normally.
Chest tube insertion or intercostal drainage (ICD) involves inserting a tube into the pleural cavity to drain air, pus, or blood to treat pleural cavity pathology. It is considered an important basic procedure because it can save the lives of patients with pathology in the pleural cavity. In addition, the above procedure Including care for the pleural drainage system If done incorrectly May cause serious harm to the patient.
Selecting the type of chest drainage catheter There are mainly 2 types used: Thoracic (Thoracic) and Thoracic (Trocar), which differ in that Thoracic (Thoracic) is just a plastic cable. that acts as a pipe for drainage only But the dhokar has a leading edge and a sharp tip to use. It will be more convenient and faster to perform the chest drainage procedure.
But actually, it will be determined by the doctor who will perform the procedure. This will depend on the pathology of the thoracic cavity. Expertise of the doctor who inserts the wire and the appropriate size of the lung cavity The size is referred to in French (Fr) units: 3 Fr. = 1 millimeter. From the information it was found that Inserting a large drain or having a guide rod like a trocar catheter, if not skilled, complications may occur due to its large size May cause injury to lung pathology. and a sharp leader Therefore, the choice of type of chest drainage catheter depends on the physician performing the drainage catheter.
Today’s chest drainage equipment covers a wide variety and has evolved greatly. The basic design principle of these systems is to avoid the entry of air into the pleural cavity during ventilation. and the pressure difference between the device and the pressure within the pleural space to enable continuous drainage of blood, pus, or air. This procedure will be performed by radiologists, pulmonologists, and thoracic surgeons to ensure patient safety.
