Figure Lengend Snippet: An example of automatic negative pressure protection partially provided by a regulated RAF in a compact UWSD (the Oasis by Atrium-Maquet, blue line). Testing started at −20 cmH 2 O of external suction applied. When −100 cmH 2 O of intrapleural pressure was simulated, the Oasis held the seal for 12 s and then broke it (at −70 cmH 2 O peak), lessening such negativity to a safer −50 cmH 2 O.

Article Snippet: The former would always provide a hermetic seal, preserving the water seal but contributing to the build-up of large intrapleural pressure (Altitude/Sentinel and Aqua-Seal by Covidien).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Patterns and time needed to reestablish physiologic intrapleural pressures values (−20 +/− 5 cmH 2 O, green line) in five different CDUs simulating a build-up of −100 cmH 2 O. One hybrid CDU (Drentech EVO by Redax, black line) and four electronic systems (Thopaz and Thopaz+ by Medela, light and dark red lines; C051 and S201 by ATMOS, light and dark blue lines) are shown.
