To the Editor.— Recent research into the mechanism of blood flow during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has led to the view that external cardiac compression is effective because it increases intrathoracic pressure and squeezes blood from the pulmonary circulation, which fills during the relaxation phase.

The Care and Feeding of Chest Tubes
AJN, American Journal of Nursing, 1972The chest is basically related to breathing, and breathing is something with which we are all vaguely familiar. (Everyone remembers the old adage, "Out goes the bad air, in comes the good air.") The two phases of breathing are inspiration and expiration. Inspiration (the good-air part) is caused by the diaphragm moving down toward the feet and the ribs

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1989
In general, appropriate use of tube thoracostomy results in complete drainage of the collected air and fluid in the pleural space and allows full expansion and occupation of the entire pleural space by the lung, thus protecting the lung and pleural space from subsequent complications.

Chest tube placement is a common and often urgent/vital procedure. The purpose of a thoracostomy tube is to restore physiologic intrapleural pressure and to fully expand the lung. The most frequent indications for chest tube placement are pneumothorax, pleural effusion, pleural empyema, hemothorax and post-operative (thoracic surgery).

An intragastric chest tube insertion
Intensive Care Medicine, 2013A 38-year-old man presented with a 1-week history of respiratory distress and abdominal pain with vomiting. He had undergone left lower lobectomy for localized bronchiectasis 6 months earlier. Physical examination revealed unilateral distension of the left thorax with hyperresonance to percussion and absent breath sounds suggestive of left tension ...

Outpatient Chest Tube Management
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1997Patients with indwelling chest tubes inserted for the purpose of evacuating pleural air traditionally are treated in the hospital. The current emphasis on cost-effective medical care and a recent report describing the early discharge of patients who had undergone lung volume reduction operations and had a persistent air leak prompted us to review our ...

AbstractPlacement of a chest tube drains intrapleural fluid and air. The tube should be attached to a drainage system, such as one-, two-, or three-compartment devices, a one-way (Heimlich) valve for ambulatory drainage, a digital system, or a vacuum bottle. The frequently employed three-compartment systems, currently integrated disposable units, allow
