CS technique Each cadaver was orotracheally intubated and ventilated with self-inflating bag 12 times per minute. The CS technique was performed following the standard ATLS procedure [3]. The insertion site was in the 5th intercostal space at the nipple level, just anterior to the midaxillary line. Two to three cm incision was made horizontally. The dissection of the subcutaneous tissue and muscle was done with scissors over the superior rim of the rib. Pleura was penetrated with a clamp and gloved finger was put in pleural space for protection of lung injury and examination of adhesions. The tube was inserted with the clamp in desired direction. Skin suture was used for the tube fixation. Antonija Joined on Sun, Mar 5 2006 Croatia Contributing Member 1,248 Articles

The CS technique was performed following the standard ATLS procedure [3]. The insertion site was in the 5th intercostal space at the nipple level, just anterior to the midaxillary line.

The pleura was penetrated with a clamp, and a gloved finger was put in the pleural space to protect the lung injury and examine adhesions. [Your original was ungrammatical; I've guessed at what you mean, but I have (fairly obviously!) no knowledge of the procedure and may have got it wrong. In particular, I'm not exactly sure if you meant "to prevent lung injury" or "protect an existing lung injury"] The tube was inserted with the clamp in the desired direction. A skin suture was used for the tube fixation. Mr Wordy Joined on Tue, May 27 2008 Senior Member 2,359 Native British English speaker

	Mr Wordy  +  722789 Sat, 09 May 09 08:28 PM "The tube was inserted with the clamp in the desired direction."   It may also be worth pointing out that this sentence is ambiguous. It's not clear if "in the desired direction" refers to the clamp or the tube. Mr Wordy Sentences
