Overview
Open Interventions → Procedures. Choose Not performed, Decompress. Effect levels and flow targets represent illustrative modeled responses; they are not clinical dose instructions.
Pleural air drainage relieves tension, improving venous return and forward flow. The model removes the pneumothorax while retaining coexisting disease.
The paused reference covers the route (Tube thoracostomy into the affected pleural space.), example doses/settings, indications, adverse effects, contraindications/precautions and monitoring. These details are available after the intervention is selected.
What to monitor in the reference: Reassess perfusion, oxygenation, lung expansion and drain function. The simulator assumes effective decompression; persistent air leak and procedural complications are not modeled.
