1 Thoraxdrainage SGP Jahresversammlung 2016, Lausanne Dr. med. Lukas Kern

2 a bit of history (incomplete.) a bit of physiology (basic ) indication data guidelines

3 a bit of history (incomplete.) a bit of physiology (basic ) indication data guidelines

4 Firs mentioned by Hippocrates ( BC) drainage of pus through tubes made out of - wood - gold - silver

5 First description of pleural empyema by Aulus Cornelius Celsus (25 BC 50 AD) - roman encyclopedist

6 then it took a while until Girolamo Fabrizi d`acquapendente ( ) - described pleural drainage using a thread and by the way - developed modern embryology

7 First use of a rubber tube by Charles Marie Edouard Chassaignac ( )

8 The «father» of modern thoracic drainage, Gotthard Bülau ( ) - lateral entry site, ICS large bore drains, up to 35F Source: Springer 2008 C= π d

9 Also widely used, is the technique after Vincenzo Monaldi ( ) - intermediate bore drains - insertion ICS 2-3, anterior Source: Springer 2008

10 Commonly used in many (swiss?) hospitals, the drainage after Heinrich Matthys - «easy» - Small bore drain 9Ch. But ultra-sharp needle!!

11 a bit of history (incomplete.) a bit of physiology (basic ) indication data guidelines

12 Principle of fluid/air evacuation (the aim of a drainage ) - key point is to know the (very basic) principles of ventilation

13 - difference in pressure leads to movement of air from highly pressurised areas to regions with low pressure - causing wind in the athmosphere

14 - since p x V= constant Lowering of the diaphragm leads to decreased pressure and thus to influx of air into the lungs Dr. Lukas Kern SGP Lausanne 2016

15 - the opposite happens when contraction of the diaphragm ends. Dr. Lukas Kern SGP Lausanne 2016

16 - virtual space between visceral and parietal pleura - subathmospheric pressure «intrapleural pressure» - opposing elastic forces of chest wall and lung

17 - pleural fluid formation due to pressure difference ( ml per kg) - reduces friction - exits pleural cavity via lymphatic stomata of parietal pleura Dr. Lukas Kern SGP Lausanne 2016

18 - Excess liquid lowers the pressure gradient, leading to collapse of the lung - mechanisms of eccess liquid production: - increased permeability - increase in microvascular pressure - decrease in pleural pressure - decrease in oncotic pressure

19 So once your tube is in place. how can you restore normal pleural physiology?

20 - using a undirectional valve invented by Henry Heimlich (*1920) X

21 or alternatively: wasserschloss

22 - air exits pleural cavity passing the water seal Tube open to atmosphere vents air Tube from patient - air cannot enter the pleural cavity

23 - not applicable for the evacuation of fluid Tube open to atmosphere vents air - Rising liquid level leads to very high pressure needed to overcome the water seal Tube from patient

24 - problem is solved by adding a second chamber/bottle Tube open to atmosphere vents air Tube from patient - constant pressure warranted 2cm fluid Fluid drainage

25 These measures maintain passive drainage: - pneumothorax - persistent air leaks - drainage of large volume effusions - pleural effusion with trapped lung

26 Tube to vacuum source Tube open to atmosphere vents air Tube from patient Straw under 20 cmh 2 O Fluid drainage

27 from patient Suction control bottle Water seal bottle Collection bottle

30 a bit of history (incomplete.) a bit of physiology (basic ) indication guidelines data

31 when to place a chest tube - pneumothorax - large pleural effusion - empyema - hematothorax - chest trauma - thoracic surgery - talc pleurodesis

32 a bit of history (incomplete.) a bit of physiology (basic ) indication guidelines data

33 there are quite a few different tubes..which tube would you use in which situation?

34

35 In other words: does size matter?

36 what would you do? Dr. Lukas Kern SGP Lausanne 2016

37 Clinical context: - female, 56 years, non smoker - Unremarkable history - Presents with fever and cough for 10 days. Short of breath since 2 days - Treated with azithromycin by her family doctor with no improvement - BP 100/55, HR 120, BF 26, temp CRP >500, Leuc 15.9

38 SGP Lausanne 2016

39

40 large pleural effusion with septae - pleural enhancement in CT scan - clinical context of pneumonia complicated parapneumonic effusion/empyema

41 what you should do Kern et al. Respiration 2011

42 what we did 14F pigtail catheter with Seldinger wire

43 and now? Dr. Lukas Kern SGP Lausanne 2016

44 what about fibrinolytics? many studies no benefit MIST1-Trial Maskell, NEJM 2005 Meta-Analysis Tokuda, Chest 2006

45 not anymore! N Engl J Med 2011;365: Dr. Lukas Kern SGP Lausanne 2016

46 N Engl J Med 2011;365: Dr. Lukas Kern SGP Lausanne 2016

48 our own experience, retrospectively:

49 Respiration 2013;86: Dr. Lukas Kern SGP Lausanne 2016

50

51 BTS guidelines provide an accurate diagnostic and therapeutic path Dr. Lukas Kern SGP Lausanne 2016

52

53 what is the problem? Male, 75y COPD 4D ptco2 8.5kPa

54

55 your next step? Dr. Lukas Kern SGP Lausanne 2016

56 A little help from the BTS guidelines (Thorax 2010) Dr. Lukas Kern SGP Lausanne 2016

57 what we did 14F pigtail catheter

58 Full expansion 1h after insertion ptco2 down to 6.8kPa in 5min

59 thank you for your attention! Dr. Lukas Kern SGP Lausanne 2016
