Describe the two-chamber drainage system.
What will be an ideal response?
The two-chamber drainage system uses chamber 1 to collect drainage or pleural fluid or evacuate pleural air. The amount of pleural drainage can be measured from chamber 1. In chamber 2, the short tube allows air to escape and prevents pressure to build up. The long tube in chamber 2 is submerged in 2 cm of water as in the one-chamber drainage system. Since chamber 1 collects all pleural fluid, the submersion depth of the long tube in chamber 2 remains unchanged.
