Water-sealed Drainage
Victims of chest injuries may or may not need a chest tube installed to drain air, blood, or fluid from the lung. There are different kinds of water-sealed drainage systems.
- One-bottle – has a single receptacle for the drainage and also serves as a water seal
- Two-bottle – has two bottles connected by another tube, one bottle serves as a water seal, and the other bottle leading from the chest is the drainage bottle
- Three-bottle – one bottle serves as a water seal, one serves as a drainage bottle, and one serves as a suction control bottle (for injuries that require suction pressure to evacuate all the air or fluid)
- The water seal bottle should not have an bubbles, only the fluid fluctuating up and down the tube
- If there is a leak, clamp the tube starting from the portion near the bottle, going up until the leak stops
- If the tube is pulled out of the chest, cover the area with a piece of salinized gauze
