The stopcock is then closed (Fig. l;25-4), the syringe removed, and the nozzle of tlie rubber bag (Fig. 12b2,b) while fully collapsed is inserted firm-ly into the open end of the tube (Fig. 1255), the stopcock reversed, thus establishing aspiration, which is maintained so long as the bag is expanding. The chest is then dressed and the apparatus duly fastened in place as indicated in Fig. 1256. The patient can goabout comfortablywith the apparatusin action without at-tracting special at-tention. AVhen thebag is nearly dis-tended, the stopcockshould be closed, thebag cleansed, againcollapsed, reapplied,and the stopcockopened. The Precautions.—If brisk and
