21 patients had pleural drainage with a rubber valve (Heimlich) on account of pneumothorax (15) and massive pleural effusion (6). The method succeeded in every case. It has the advantage that it dispenses with suction and bottles, that it needs no turning-off when the patient gets up, but maintains its draining action, and that in cases of persisting broncho-pleural fistula there is no additional suction. The technique represents a simplified alternative to the customy methods of pleural drainage.
21例患者因气胸（15例）和大量胸腔积液（6例）采用带橡胶瓣膜（海姆利希瓣膜）的胸腔引流术。该方法在每种情况下均获成功。其优点是无需抽吸和瓶子，患者起床时无需关闭，仍能保持引流作用，并且在持续性支气管胸膜瘘的情况下无需额外抽吸。该技术是传统胸腔引流方法的一种简化替代方案。
