  2. Chest tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chest_tube

    Portable electronic system Chest tube drainage system diagram, with parts labeled in. A chest drainage system is typically used to collect chest drainage (air, blood, effusions). Most commonly, drainage systems use three chambers which are based on the three-bottle system. The first chamber allows fluid that is drained from the chest to be ...

  3. Chest drainage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chest_drainage

    The simplest system that is sufficient for chest drainage is a one-chamber system. It uses either a Heber-drain or an active suction source and comprises a single collection canister. For active or passive air evacuation, a water seal component is attached. To ensure that all air is sucked out when using a Heber-drain, manual support might be ...

  4. Anomalous pulmonary venous connection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anomalous_pulmonary_venous...

    Anomalous pulmonary venous connection (or anomalous pulmonary venous drainage or anomalous pulmonary venous return [1]) is a congenital heart defect of the pulmonary veins. It can be a total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, wherein all four pulmonary veins are incorrectly positioned, or a partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection ...

  5. Bronchial circulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronchial_circulation

    Bronchial veins drain venous blood from the large main bronchi into the azygous vein, and ultimately the right atrium. Venous blood from the bronchi inside the lungs drains into the pulmonary veins and empties into the left atrium; since this blood never went through a capillary bed it was never oxygenated and so provides a small amount of ...

  6. Flutter valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flutter_valve

    The construction of the flutter valve enables it to function as a one-way valve allowing airflow, or the flow of a fluid, in only one direction along the drainage tube. The end of the drainage tube is placed inside the chest cavity of the patient — into the air mass or into the fluid mass to be drained from the thorax.

  7. Pulmonary vein - Wikipedia

  9. Internal thoracic vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_thoracic_vein

    It drains the intercostal veins, although the posterior drainage is often handled by the azygous veins. [1] It terminates in the brachiocephalic vein. [2] It has a width of 2-3 mm. [3] There is either one or two internal thoracic veins accompanying the corresponding artery (internal thoracic artery). If internal thoracic vein is single, it ...
