What Does CT Stand For?
CT stands for Chest Tube
CT, or Chest Tube, refers to a medical device used to remove air, fluid, or pus from the pleural space or mediastinum. It is typically employed in cases of pneumothorax, hemothorax, or pleural effusion to facilitate lung expansion and improve respiratory function. The procedure for placement of a chest tube is performed by trained healthcare professionals and is critical for managing various thoracic conditions effectively.
