Definitions
- This invention relates to a drainage apparatus and more particularly to an apparatus for draining fluids from a body cavity, commonly referred to as an underwater drainage apparatus.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,363,626 issued Jan. 16, 1968 there is disclosed an underwater drainage apparatus of a one piece, unitary construction.
- This device includes a collection or trap chamber for collecting liquids from a body cavity, a water seal chamber which prevents the passage of air from atomsphere into the body cavity, a manometer chamber which regulates the degree of vacuum imposed in the system.
- the collection chamber is connected by a thoracotomy tube to a patient's pleural cavity.
- the device is connected to a suction pump and the amount of liquid inthe manometer chamber determines the degree of vacuum imposed.
- This system functions exceedingly well under most conditions.
- certain respiratory ailments and conditions result in sudden increases of pressure in the pleural cavity. For example, a cough will produce a rapid increase in the pressure in the pleural cavity and it is desirable to provide means which will permit the sudden high pressure to be exhausted from the system immediately without imposing a back pressure on the patient.
- a valve in the water seal chamber which connects the water seal chamber with atmosphere.
- this valve will remain closed.
- the valve will open thereby permitting the gas to escape to atmosphere and reduce the pressure within the underwater drainage apparatus and pleural cavity. As soon as the pressures are reduced the valve will close and normal operating conditions will be resumed.
- An object of the present invention is to provide an underwater drainage apparatus with valve means to prevent sudden increases in pressure within the pleural cavity.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a valve in the wall of the seal chamber in an underwater drainage apparatus to prevent sudden increases in pressure within the pleural cavity.
- FIG. 1 is a sectional view through an underwater drainage apparatus.
- FIG. 2 is a sectional view through the valve.
- FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 2 showing the valve in open position
- FIG. 4 is a face view of the exterior wall of the water seal chamber showing the valve openings.
- an underwater drainage device 10 which may be of a one piece construction and molded of plastic or like material.
- the device comprises a collection or trap chamber 11, a generally U-shaped water seal chamber 12 and a manometer chamber 13.
- the collection chamber 11 is provided with an inlet 14 which is connected by means of a thoracotomy tube 15 with the patient's pleural cavity to be drained.
- the collection chamber 11 has an outlet 16 in communication with the inlet at the upper end of arm 17 of the U-shaped water seal chamber 12.
- the upper end of the other arm 18 of the U-tube water seal chamber 12 communicates with a suction outlet 19 and with the upper end of arm 20 of the U-tube forming the manometer chamber 13.
- the other arm 21 of the manometer chamber is open to atmosphere as shown.
- valve within the wall of the water seal chamber, such valve being identified generally in FIG. 1 at 22. It is to be noted that this valve is disposed within the large arm 18 of the water seal chamber 12 and the valve will normally remain in a closed position and will open only in response to a substantially increased pressure within the water seal chamber 12.
- the wall of the water seal chamber 18 is shown at 23.
- the exterior wall is provided with a series of apertures 24 arranged in a circular pattern.
- a plate 25 Secured to the inner face of wall 23 is a plate 25 in the form of a disc having a circular peripheral flange 26 and a recessed central portion.
- the recessed central portion of plate 25 is provided with apertures 27 which are disposed in a circular arrangement similar to the apertures 24 on exterior wall 23.
- a resilient disk valve 28 Secured to plate 25 at the center thereof is a resilient disk valve 28, this disk valve having a central extension or protuberance 29 which passes through an aperture in the plate 25 to secure the disk to the plate.
- the disk 28 covers the apertures 27 in plate 25 as shown in FIG. 2.
- valve is shown as used with an underwater drainage device as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,363,626, it is obvious that this valve mechanism may be used in conjunction with the modifications of the apparatus shown in the aforementioned patent, such modifications and improvements being shown for example in U.S. Pat. No. 3,363,627 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,559,647.
- valve mechanism could function equally well when mounted at other locations within the underwater drainage apparatus.
- the valve 22 could be disposed within a wall of the collection chamber, most conveniently towards the upper end of this chamber.
- the valve could be located in the other arm 17 of the water seal chamber, in the manometer chamber large arm 20 or even in the thoracotomy tube itself.
- the function of the valve 22, as described hereinbefore, is to permit the escape of gas within the drainage device when a sudden increase in pressure occurs within the device and this function can be performed with the valve located at various points within the device.
- valve mechanism is shown as used on a three bottle system but could be used in a two or one bottle underwater drainage system. In a two bottle system the valve could be located in the underwater seal chamber, in the collection chamber or in the thoracotomy tube.
- valve may be located in the collection chamber or in the thoracotomy tube.
