A Pneumostat\u2122 is a small drain that connects to your chest tube. The Pneumostat\u2122 helps drain extra fluid or air from your chest cavity with a one -way valve. This drain will stay connected to your chest tube until taken out by your provider.
Chest drains also known as under water sealed drains (UWSD) are inserted to allow draining of the pleural spaces of air, blood or fluid, allowing expansion of the lungs and restoration of negative pressure in the thoracic cavity. The underwater seal also prevents backflow of air or fluid into the pleural cavity.
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.

You need a chest drain if you have an air leak (pneumothorax), a collection of fluid (pleural effusion), pus (empyema) or blood (haemothorax) in the pleural space. Any of these can cause problems with breathing and can stop the lungs from working properly.
The water level in the suction chamber should be at prescribed level and gentle bubbling should be observe. The level may drop due to evaporation or over-vigorous bubbling, if this occurs top fluid level up as per manufacturer's instructions.
Checking the Pneumostat\u2122 for air-leaks Squeeze about 1 cc into the small air leak well on the front of your Pneumostat\u2122. Cough 2-3 times, this will push any air out the one- way valve and will make bubbles in the air leak well where you added the saline. If it bubbles, you still have an air leak.
In an unplanned chest-tube removal, stay calm. With a gloved hand, immediately cover the open insertion site and call for help while staying with the patient. Ask for petroleum gauze to cover the site, along with dry gauze and tape to complete the dressing.
