This course is directed towards medical students who are keen on learning about chest tube thoracostomy as well as health-care professionals who are involved in its management at the hospital setting. Tube thoracostomy or chest tube drainage, is a life-saving procedure, performed using a flexible plastic tube, mainly in the Emergency Unit as well as in the Ward. This course will familiarize the students on the relevant anatomical knowledge which includes the surface anatomy of the thorax, the relationship of the neurovascular structures to the ribs as well as structures within the thoracic cavity and upper abdomen. It will review the indications and complications of the procedure, the steps undertaken as well as the instruments involved during its insertion. Most importantly, this course will focus on the safe-guards and pitfalls pertaining to the procedure to ensure a safe and proper placement for the patient.
