Does anyone know of a good site to review chest tubes. Unfortunately, I was out the day we watched a video about chest tubes (Pleuravac systems) I want to better understand how they work, but I can't find any site that helps me out with them.

Hi Dustin: may I humbly suggest my own article, at http://www.icufaqs.org - click on the relevant topic link...

In addition to Mark's site, if you type in pleuravac chest tube system or any combo of that into google you get quite a few hits...

Mark, I have tried several times to log onto your site but can only get the menu. Whats wrong?

Carcha, does your school keep its videos in a library? You might want to ask if you can check it out.
