Chest Tube thoracostomy is the insertion of a tube (chest tube) into the pleural cavity to drain air, blood, bile, pus, or other fluids. Placement of a chest tube allows for continuous, large volume drainage until the underlying pathology can be more formally addressed. The list of specific treatable etiologies is extensive (see Indications), but without intervention, patients are at great risk for major morbidity or mortality.
Chest tube was inserted at left lung. According to the patient she can’t do what she wants because every time she moves the incision was painful. REFERENCE: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/surgical+incision http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/80678-overview
