Evaluation of Six Chest Drainage Units for Use in Aeromedical Evacuation

Abstract

The Aeromedical Research Function of the USAF School of Aerospace Medicine has completed Observational performance testing was completed on six different brands of chest drainage units. The testing program was designed to observe and measure each unit's characteristics in a simulated operational Aeromedical Evacuation environment. The information presented describes the operational response of the Chest Drainage Units to the stresses of flight and the special operating instructions which apply to some of the units.
