What is Chest Drain about?
A chest drain is a drainage system used within the pleural space to remove air, fluid, blood, or pus. Indications for its use include pneumothorax, haemothorax, pyothorax, pleural effusion, and post-chest surgery. The pleural space is covered by two layers of pleura: the parietal pleura lining the thoracic wall and the visceral pleura lining the lungs.
