Chest tube for hospice patient?

Just curious...have any of you had a hospice pt with a chest tube? I am about to get a new pt with a chest tube...and it sounds like the tube will be left in indefinately (I suppose I'll hear more about this pt in tomorrow's report). I have worked with chest tubes in the hospital setting, but not the home setting...and I have never had a pt need a chest tube in for more than a week. This is a lung CA pt. Have any of you delt with chest tubes (the one connected to the glass bottle) in the home setting?
