Man ur a genius. I've been searching for a lot time trying to understand the water seal concept. No one seems to care about the small details oh but you surely do!
Thanks!

Thank you so much for this. Helped me understand NCDs a lot better as well as the higher echelon care for hypertension hemo/hydro and pneumo. Very good material, as always

If in any instance that "postoperative air leak" is present. What would be the behavious of these chambers esp the "water seal" and "suction regulator"?

[@MedSchoolMadeEasy]

great question! an air leak would show bubbling in the 'water seal' chamber. this is in the "B" or 'bravo' chamber in the drawing. it's typically located in the lower left hand corner of most commercially available pleuravacs
