The use of colostomy bags for chest tube drainage

V Velanovich and CW Adams
Department of Surgery, Letterman Army Medical Center, Presidio of San Francisco, CA 94129-6700.

Occasionally patients require long-term chest tube drainage. We describe a method whereby a short chest tube may be drained into a colostomy bag to alleviate the necessity of keeping the patient attached to a bulky drainage system. The colostomy bag allows greater mobility, and the patient can be discharged with the bag.
