Event Description
|
It was reported that the chest tube drainage system may have a discrepancy in regards to drainage.It was noted that the drainage from the chest tube stops at 180cc and then dumps over into the next chamber, leaving a void of 20cc (between 180-200).This gives an inaccurate account of the amount of drainage as the nurse looking at the system may record an output of 210 or greater when it is actually less because there was not drainage noted in the space/area between 180 and 200.
