What is a Pleur-Evac?
Description. The Pleur-Evac® Infant Chest Drainage unit with dry suction control and water seal is a sterile, single use drainage system intended for post-operative patient care. The fluid path is non-pyrogenic.
How does a Pleur-evac system work?
The unique design of the Pleur-evac dry suction control immediately responds to changes in patient pressure (patient air leak) or changes in suction pressure (surge / decrease at the suction source). Confirm that the orange float remains in the suction control indicator window at the new suction setting.
How do you care for a patient with a chest tube?
Chest Tube Care basics: Keep all tubing free of kinks and occlusions; for instance, check for tubing beneath the patient or pinched between bed rails. Take steps to prevent fluid-filled dependent loops, which can impede drainage. To promote drainage, keep the CDU below the level of the patient’s chest.
How do you know if there is an air leak in a chest tube?
Start by examining the air-leak detection chamber in the water seal of the drainage device. An air leak presents as small air bubbles; the amount of bubbling indicates the degree of the leak. If you notice bubbling, determine location of the leak.
What should you do if a patient has a chest tube?
A chest tube falling out is an emergency. Immediately apply pressure to chest tube insertion site and apply sterile gauze or place a sterile Jelonet gauze and dry dressing over insertion site and ensure tight seal. Apply dressing when patient exhales. If patient goes into respiratory distress, call a code.
What is the difference between suction and water seal?
If a chest tube is placed, gravity water seal drainage is used, and suction is only added if the lung does not re-expand as quickly as expected. The tube allows air and/or fluid collection to drain out of the body resulting in re-expansion of the patient’s lung.
Should there be continuous bubbling in the suction control chamber?
Holes can commonly be caused by trauma or surgery. In summary, in “wet” suction drains, whether evacuating fluid or air, the only chamber that should be constantly bubbling is the suction control chamber when it is attached to the vacuum regulator.
