Thoraxdrainagen

  • 4570 Accesses

Zusammenfassung

Thoraxdrainagen und pleurale Punktionen stellen ein buntes medizinisches Mosaik dar, geprägt von vielfältigen Einflussgrößen: Ausbildung des Durchführenden, rechtfertigende Indikationsstellung, Art und Dauer der Intervention sowie des Punktates, Drainagemanagement, Interventionsmodus, Umgebungssetting und als wichtigsten Parameter den behandelnden Patienten. Die Art und Schwere möglicher Komplikationen sowie deren Management sind ebenso vielfältig und von den beschriebenen Einflussgrößen geprägt. Anhand dieser Übersicht kann sich jeder Therapeut ein falladaptiertes Risikoprofil und eine strukturierte Vorgehensweise erstellen, um „pit-falls“ zu vermeiden. Nur eine differenzierte und selbstkritische Würdigung von Interventionsumständen erscheint geeignet, einen Behandlungserfolg zu sichern.
