AB  - Initial  postoperative  management  of  the  thoracic  surgical  patient  is  best  performed  in  an  intermediate  or  high  acuity  area.These  patients  are  generally  at  increased  risk  of  respiratory  complications,  which  carry  a  high  mortality  rate.  Aggressive  chest  physiotherapy  and  early  ambulation,  together  with  meticulous  attention  to  analgesia,  fluid  management,  glycemic  control  and  nutrition  are  key  to  a  successful  recovery.It  is  important  that  the  treating  team  be  familiar  with  the  anatomy  and  physiology  of  the  chest,  and  the  management  of  the  different  chest  drainage  systems.
