I am a cardiology PA and I cross cover cardiothoracic surgery a lot at night. This is really helpful info, and I find it to be more complete than the vast majority of summaries on this topic. Thanks for doing these! Will be joining.

[@VictorLee-y9o]

Very helpful! I am a learning EMT and this was perfect, I learned so much, thank you.

[@WeenerWorld]

Paramedicine student here - this has really helped me get my head around what I need to be assessing pre-hospitally and what the treatment options are in-hospital. Great video!! :)

[@luthandontuli4409]

Me too!🤘

[@teflon914]

Great explanation. I had traumatic hemothorax due to a gsw. Had a chest tube in for about a week draining the blood, spent 2 weeks in the Hospital.

[@akshaysethi6267]

10 years ago My father had chest pain and doctor insert chest tube during this docter injured lung or any vascular vane due to this blood coming from the tube and they insert almost 15 bottles of blood and 5-6 bottles of plasma. After that they refer to another hospital there hemothorax and thoractomy was done. Now my father is good thanks god

Thank you Eddie, your videos help me survive advanced med-surg class in RN program.

[@kikomagana1990]

Oh wow I’m here early! Just wanna say thanks for this channel. Got hired as a new grad program ICU nurse and start in February so I’m trying to learn as much as I can so I’m not deer in the headlights. Bought some stickers a few days ago. Thank you so much!

[@ICUAdvantage]

Congrats on that new ICU position! Definitely a lot of good information for you here as you are learning in the new role. Glad you enjoy the videos and thanks for the sticker purchase. I would imagine you should have received them by now :)

[@kikomagana1990]

Thanks!

[@ICUAdvantage]

Thank you so much Francisco!

[@nolimitangel2691]

Excellent explanation!!

[@michelegeiger520]

I’m a retired critical/dialysis RN, I’ll have to show this my hubby. He fell down icy steps several years ago and after 24 hours of discomfort, agreed to go to the ER ;) where they dx’d a hemothorax. They drained 700cc immediately upon CT insertion. (Maybe after watching this, I WON’T show it to him LOL 😂)

[@andreawong5225]

Amazing video!! Thank you so much!

[@ICUAdvantage]

You're so welcome!

[@xindin265]

Hi Eddie, thank you for your great videos, since many of patients are now sedated and on vents could make videos on sedation medications, also, intubation and extubation of patients and managing such patients.. thank you

[@ICUAdvantage]

Glad you like them. I do have a whole series on ICU Drips and in there I talk about sedatives. I also have intubation and extubation both on my todo list to get around to!

[@xindin265]

@@ICUAdvantage Thank you for clarifying. keep up the good work

[@williamdesmoines2147]

i had a hemothorax-covid for 5 hours until finally i receive medical attention, every breath hurts like hell and knew that I need to breath with the pain to survive, i feel like Drowning, when i reach the hospital i can't move my legs. After, they put a tube in the right side of my chest, that was the most painful thing i ever had. I remember drinking orange juice, and the juice crossed my lung and went to the tube :(

[@sophiehebert13]

Hello! Thanks so much for this! Quick question, how does the blood get into the pleural space once it’s coming out of the aorta after its rupture? Good day to you and thanks again

[@sugahillind]

Awesome video

[@ICUAdvantage]

Thank you!

[@choolwemudenda]

It's so interesting

[@sarahthavela6054]

i like the presentation and how can i get the notes for the presentation.

[@aliagak]

To facilitate proper drainage without clotting do you recommend that nurses milk the chest tube?

[@Pathologyformedicalstudents]

The chest tubes remained patent with or without milking or stripping. We conclude that neither milking nor stripping is necessary for the proper care of chest tubes. We recommend that tubes be positioned such that they promote continuous drainage

[@ICUAdvantage]

Best practice is to not milk/strip. That said, so providers will still expect this. I'm actually covering this a bit more in my next lesson coming up.

[@ICUAdvantage]

As the other commenter mentioned, proper positioning and avoiding dependent loops is the best thing. Again, talking about in the next lesson :)

[@techharvest8641]

My mother was operated for esophagectomy and brought out to ICU after surgery then the doctors took her again to OT for hemothorax surgery she could not bear the second surgery and suffered cardiac arrest, can anyone help me to know if this was medical negligence that caused hemothorax or was just an act of GOD. I lost my mother that day and to this day could not come to terms with God and neither I would ever know if it was doctor's incompetency.
