Abstract
We report a case of life-threatening obstructive shock from extreme negative intrapleural pressure that occurred because of the incorrect setup of a digital drainage system after video-assisted thoracic surgery. These devices are increasingly prevalent because of their precision and portability. Those using such devices should be cognizant of their potential pitfalls.
