Physical forces like gravity or gravitation also affect fluid in a drainage tube. What impact does a water column have on suction in a chest drainage system?
A column of fluid in a drainage tube influences the negative pressure applied to the patient and causes a pressure differential. This video describes which physical forces are involved during drainage and what the unit centimetres of water column (cmH2O) means.
Additionally, it shows the influence to the patient of having a siphon in the drainage tube regarding the patient-side pressure, how this differential can be identified and compensated.
