The left side has one pressurized tension pneumothorax site and a site for the surgical placement of a functional chest tube. It is the site to surgically insert chest tubes to treat pleural effusion by draining fluids from the pleural space. Fluid color, volume, and viscosity can be controlled by the instructor.

Realism

Needle decompression air reservoirs provide realistic releases of air on insertion of needle

Reservoirs can be filled with fluid or simulated blood to represent pleural effusion
