ABSTRACT:
A method and assembly of components for effecting closed chest thoracostomy includes insertion of a large bore needle into the chest cavity following local anesthesia. A guide wire is inserted into the pleural cavity through the needle and the needle is removed. An incision of one to one and one-half centimeters is then made parallel to the ribs and a pleural access catheter is delivered over the guide wire into the cavity. The guide wire is removed and a chest tube is introduced through the pleural access catheter, which is then split off and removed from around the chest tube. The chest tube is then sewn in place, dressed and placed to drainage. A thoracostomy kit includes the necessary instruments to effect the procedure in a sealed sterile package.
