The chest drain indicated an air leak.I clamped the drain at various points, and it seems the leak comes from the red connector.The staff opened another drain canister, clamped above the red connection, and observed a leak prior to connecting to patient.They checked how secure the red connection was and by the time i saw the drain, the air leak had resolved.This second canister was applied to the patient and is without a leak.The drain was inserted in the theatre so packaging and lot number was discarded.
