Abstract: Intercostals drains also referred to as chest tubes, under water sealed drainage (UWSD), thoracic catheter, tube thoracostomy or chest drain. Intercostals drains provide a method of removing air & fluid substances from the pleural space. The idea is to create a one-way mechanism that will let air/fluid out of the pleural space and prevent outside air/fluid from entering into the pleural space. This is accomplished by the use of an underwater seal. The distal end of the drainage tube is submerged in 2cm of H2O. They use flexible plastic tubes which are inserted through the chest wall and into the pleural space between the 5th and 6th intercostal space in the mid-axillary line, venting the space which allows air back out. Intercostal drainage tube insertion is a common procedure that is an integral part of trauma management. Advance trauma life support training has standardized the teaching of intercostal drainage tube insertion and the technique
