The document discusses chest tubes, which are flexible plastic tubes inserted through the chest wall into the pleural space or mediastinum to drain fluid or air. Chest tubes are used to overcome the accumulation of air or fluid in the pleural cavity that can impair ventilation. The pleural membranes have an important role in ensuring the lungs are expanded, so any disruption or changes in the pleural space will compromise ventilation. The document provides information on chest tube sizes for adults and children, indications for chest tube insertion, postoperative care and monitoring, potential complications, and common problems that may occur.
The CVP catheter is an important tool used to assess right ventricular function and systemic fluid status. Normal CVP is 2-6 mm Hg. CVP is elevated by : overhydration which increases venous return.
BRONCHOSCOPY is a procedure in which a hollow, flexible tube called a bronchoscope is inserted into the airways through the nose or mouth to provide a view of the TRACHEOBRONCHIAL tree.
It can also be used to collect bronchial and/or lung secretions and to perform tissue biopsy.

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a type of surgery that improves blood flow to the heart. It's used for people who have severe coronary heart disease (CHD), also called coronary artery disease.
i have prepared this ppt. from various Books as a refrences as well as uses of web pages and explain and modify in simplify language which are easily understand by medical or para medical personnel..thank you..
PowerPoint presentation on Intercostal drainage (ICD) or Chest tube drainage. In this this presentation I have included different methods by which a chest tube can be inserted to drain fluid, pus, air from the Pleural cavity. please do mail me your feedback on this presentation at tinkujoseph2010@gmail.com.

Turning into Block , A Case of Complete Heart Block in Turner SyndromeYASIR ALZUBAIDI
A 56 year-old Turner Syndrome (TS) female presented to the emergency room with dyspnea, general weakness and lightheadedness. She had no history of syncope. Heart rate was between 31-42 beats per minute with blood pressure value in the lower normal range.
She received IV atropine with no improvement in her bradycardia. EKG showed complete heart block thus she was transferred to the Intensive care unit for further management. Hypothyroidism and acute coronary syndrome were ruled out. The patient was on verapamil SR 120 mg daily, which was discontinued since presentation. After more than 24 hours off any atrioventricular nodal blocking agents, she remained in complete heart block. Permanent pacemaker was placed and the patient was discharged in stable condition without any more dizziness or lightheadedness.
Apparently a lengthy presentation actually very good for junior physicians as it covers all aspects of assessment, diagnosis and treatment of pleural effusion
this is my presentation of pneumothorax that I presented in my gen medicine class, I includes investing and management only of pneumothorax
best of luck
there is the introduction part of the torso trauma,
check out my next ppts for further more about torso trauma.
contents are in following order...
introduction
mechanism of injury
junctional zones of torso
tension pneumothorax
cardiac temponade
massive hemothorax
etc.
check out all slides
This is evidence based approach to intercostal tube management. It includes brief account on anatomy, physiology and physics, procedure, complications and drain removal. This I mainly based on BTS 2015 guideline.
2. The external surface of the lungs are covered
by a thin, smooth serous membrane called the
VISCERAL PLEURA.
A similar membrane lines the thoracic cavity,
this contains nerve receptors to detect pain
called the PARIETAL PLEURA
3.
4. A Chest tube or Intercostal drainage
is the insertion of flexible plastic tube
through the chest wall into the pleural
space or mediastinum to drain fluid or
air.
5.
6. To overcome the accumulation of air or fluid in
the pleural cavity that might impair ventilation.
Pleural membranes have a vital role in ensuring
the lungs are expanded.
Therefore any disruption to the integrity of
these membranes or changes within the pleural
space,will compromise ventilation.
