Dysfunctional Closed Chest Drainage - Common Causative Factors and Recommendations for Prevention.

Introduction Dysfunctional closed chest drainage unit (CDU) dysfunction is a common but serious clinical problem associated with tube thoracostomy and results in a significant rise in morbidity, prolonged hospital stays, and increased economic burden.
