Underwater seal drainage:
The site of insertion at the site of “triangle of safety”, bounded by the anterior border of latissimus dorsi, the posterior border of the pectoralis major, and the superior border of the 5th rib (or the midaxillary line, anterior axillary line, and the 5th rib).
Under local infiltration anesthesia, an incision made in the skin and subcutaneous tissues sufficient to admit a finger easily.
The intercostal muscles separate by artery forceps, the pleura punctured and the intercostal drainage tube inserted.
A wide bore tube (>28 Fr) is used for the drainage of blood and fluids.
