From Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository
A Chest drain is used to collect blood and other fluids from a patient's lung. A chest tube is inserted into the patient's chest and the other end of the tube is collected to a chest drain box to collect and measure the fluid. From the drain box, a line is collected to negative pressure to provide suction.
