Build your reputation, increase your chances of. Additional to the Heimlich valve, a chest-drainage management system, which typically enables the application of vacuum, and the quantification of the effluent however, a drainage-management system is much a larger apparatus with more tubing, which encumbers the patient. Diagnosis and Management of 1:1 Atrial Flutter in the Setting of Aortic Valve Endocarditis and Embolic Stroke. The traditional chest tube collection box often requires a longer hospital stay. I have an acapella valve (flutter valve) and use it after nebulizer treatments. My guess is that if the doc prescribes it, maybe Medicare would pay at least part. Flutter valves (Pneumostat valves) allow patients to ambulate more easily and patients may be able leave the hospital in certain instances.

Flutter mucus clearance device is designed for patients suffering from various lung disorders, associated with production and secretion of excessive quantities of mucus within the airways.
Another potential problem leaks of fluid, which are resolved with a small chest-drain or with a sputum-trap attached to the valve, to function as a reservoir of the draining fluid. These devices are the Positive Expiratory Pressure, the High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation, the Oral High Frequency Oscillation, the Intrapulmonary Percussive Ventilation, the Incentive Spirometry the Flutter and the Acapella and the Cornet. Usage of the flutter valve presents potential problems such as clogging of the chest tube, which might provoke the recurrence of the pneumothorax or the subcutaneous emphysema, which can lead to empyema.
The flutter valve is placed in the appropriate orientation (designed so that the valve can only be connected in the appropriate orientation) and the pneumothorax is thus evacuated from the chest of the patient. The end of the drainage tube is placed inside the chest cavity of the patient - into the air mass or into the fluid mass to be drained from the thorax. The construction of the flutter valve enables it to function as a one-way valve allowing airflow, or the flow of a fluid, in only one direction along the drainage tube. Heimlich valve: The flutter valve functions by allowing only outwards airflow from the body of the patient.
