Simulated Air Leaks measured with Thoraguard

Laboratory simulation of pulmonary air leak using analog chest drain.
Simulation Parameters:

  • Analog chest drain suction level: -20 cmH2O
  • Simulated homogeneous respiratory rate: 10 per min
  • Simulated respiration volume: 40 mL
  • Pleural pressure change: 6 cmH2O
  • Air leak level measured with Thoraguard Digital Chest Dain
