Abstract
Chest drain placement is essential to the management of patients with abnormal thoracic collections of air or fluid. Frequently, in these critically ill patients, drain position can only be assessed by portable frontal radiographs. However, evaluation by axial chest CT in some cases reveals unexpected malplacement that may prompt repositioning to reduce morbidity and improve drain function.Entities:
