How to fill out implantable pleural caformter drain

How to fill out an implantable pleural catheter drain:

1. Gather all necessary supplies, including sterile gloves, antiseptic solution, sterile drapes, sterile dressing kit, and drainage collection system.
2. Ensure that the patient is in a comfortable position, either sitting or lying down, with the affected side exposed.
3. Wash your hands thoroughly and put on sterile gloves.
4. Prepare the insertion site by cleaning it with an antiseptic solution, starting from the center and moving outward in a circular motion.
5. Allow the antiseptic to dry completely before proceeding.
6. Open the sterile drapes and cover the patient from the neck down, creating a sterile field.

10. Slowly and carefully insert the catheter into the pleural space through the fenestration, using a twisting motion to penetrate the tissue.
11. Observe for signs of resistance or pain during insertion, and if any are experienced, consult a healthcare professional.

13. Connect the drainage collection system to the hub of the catheter, ensuring a secure connection.
14. Ensure that the collection system is functioning properly, with the drainage tube positioned below the level of the patient's chest.
