How do I change the suction on my Pleur-Evac?

TO INCREASE SUCTION The Pleur-evac Sahara® Unit is preset at -20 cm of water. Rotate the red dial to the prescribed suction level. The dial clicks in place. Increase source suction until the orange float appears in the indicator window.

Is Pleur-Evac dry suction?

Use the manual high negativity relief valve to reduce negativity to desired level. Both the wet suction and dry suction series of Pleur-evac have a positive pressure relief valve that opens with increases in positive pressure, preventing pressure accumulation (figure 15). Normally, air exits through the suction port.

Should a Pleur-Evac bubble?

If the bubbling fluctuates with respiration (i.e. occurs on exhalation in a patient breathing spontaneously), the most likely source is the lung. In a patient with a mediastinal tube, there should be no bubbling or movement in the water seal/air leak meter. Lack of bubbling is normal.

How does a Pneumostat work?

A Pneumostat is a one-way valve that connects to your chest tube (see Figure 1). Your chest tube and Pneumostat let extra air, extra fluid, or both out of your chest. This lets your lung expand fully.

What should I set chest tube suction?

The chest tube should initially be set to continuous suction at -20 mmHg to evacuate the air. Once the air leak has stopped, the chest tube should be placed on water seal to confirm resolution of the pneumothorax (water seal mimics normal physiology).

Should there be bubbling in the water seal chamber?

Remember: Bubbling in the water seal chamber is normal and is caused by air passing out of the pleural space into the fluid chamber. Intermittent bubbling is normal. Continuous bubbling during inspiration and expiration indicates that there is an air leak.

How do you unclog a Pneumostat?

Take a clean syringe, and remove any air from it by pushing down on the plunger. Firmly screw a clean syringe to the port. Pull the plunger back on the syringe to withdraw the fluid. When you have emptied the fluid from the chamber, unscrew the syringe.
