[A simple method for pleural drainage (author's transl)].

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.

[Evaluation of lung function tests by means of a programmed minicomputer (author's transl)].

A computer programme for a small programmable electronic calculator is introduced which considerably facilitates the offline evaluation of tests of the ventilatory lung function and mechanics of breathing, including the establishment of individuel ideal values. This favourably priced computer reduces the time required for calculation by about one-third compared with the conventional method. The process of assessment is rendered strikingly simple and hence safer by this highly versatile computer.
