Chest tube removal hurt?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Chest tube removal: It probably is similar to receiving as shot. If some one is anxious, pain medication can be given prior to removal.

Some: Removing the tube is usually very well tolerated. While it may feel strange, it generally causes very little pain.
