In fact, the bottle chest is a chamber where secretions, blood, and excess fluids accumulated in the lungs accumulate. In case of excess accumulation of fluids and blood secretions in the pleural space, it becomes difficult for patients to breathe comfortably.

If you don’t use devices to drain water accumulated in the lungs (such as bottles and pigtail biotech catheters, etc.), the patient’s breathing becomes harder and harder over time.

Airflow is controlled by changes in pleural pressure. Negative pressure causes the water level to rise slightly. Positive pressure removes air and fluid from the pleural space and collects it inside the tube and bottle. Air bubbles escape from the tube into the underwater seal. Liquids are discharged by gravity, mix with water and raise the liquid level. It has a one-way mechanism to prevent the return of air, liquids and secretions. In simpler words, a chest tube or chest tube, which is a flexible plastic tube, It is connected to a bottle (case) through a clamp or clip set. In fact, there should be no connection between the outside air and the inside of this pipe. In order to make the system work better, sterile distilled water or normal xylene is poured into this chamber, so that the end of the tube is 2 cm below the water level. This tube is made of medical grade PVC and is flexible and is placed through the chest wall in the pleural space between the 5th and 6th ribs in the armpit line. But the container or bottle has another connection with the outside, which is responsible for transferring the air bubbles created by the patient’s breathing to the outside, and in fact, it has a function similar to a hookah.

 This tube is inserted into the pleural cavity to remove air or fluid from the chest. Transfer tube: The flexible tube that connects the chest tube to the chest drainage system (chest bottle). This pipe should be resistant to twisting so that they can transmit a uniform flow of the solution. Water Seal chamber: The air released from the pleural space goes into the water seal chamber. This compartment prevents air from entering the chest from the outside while allowing air to escape from the chest. The inside of this chamber should always be up to 2 cm H2O. More or less than this amount can cause inefficiency or difficulty in the transfer process. Solution input funnel Locking clip or clamp for easy removal and complete disassembly. It has a hanger to facilitate movement by the patient or the treatment staff. Suction control device (optional) which usually has a power of 3-5 kPa.

The Crystal Chest Bottle mechanism is designed through the effects of liquid static suction and fills the liquid and materials in the chest into its chamber with low pressure suction. In general, airflow is controlled by changes in intrapleural pressure. In this mechanism, it should prevent the entry of liquids and air into the pleura and also remove the liquids and air from the pleura. This is done with the help of drainage tubes, the end of which must be placed in water up to 2 cm.
