i'd say that adjectives the people i've see that needed a chest tube were within no shape to be getting out of bed anyways.
Without knowing more info, I will take the fanatical guess and tell you will not quality like getting out of bed next to a chest tube.. Besides you will probably be connected to a suction device.. Eat no problem..
I guess it depends on what the tubes are for and what caused them to be placed contained by the first place.
Last fall I have a quadruple by-pass, on a Saturday morning, Monday was walking the hall with not individual two tubes and a suction machine, but an IV, so I would utter under some circumstances, yes to your sound out.
yes...you are weak, it stings but the undamaged system is portable.
hint: when your doctor tell you to roll over on your non affected side and pocket in a gaping breath, get in position, he's pulling the tube out.
