A thoracic drainage catheter, or chest tube, is a flexible, pliable tube utilized to drain excess air, fluid, or pus from the chest cavity. Physicians employ it when the patient experiences issues such as lung infection, injury, or post-chest surgery. The tube opens up the area in the lungs so that the lungs can inflate normally, and the patient can breathe more easily.
