In 1395, Guy de Chauliac, a surgeon of medieval France, commented with surprise on the lack of ancient writings concerning thoracic wounds and reviews the disagreements between his contemporaries on the treatment of these wounds. Roland of Parma, William of Bologna, and Lanfranc of Paris believed in open treatment of penetrating thoracic wounds using tents and drains to allow blood and decaying organic materials to escape. Theodoric and Henri de Mondeville disagreed and advocated for the immediate closure of wounds to prevent the entry of cold air and loss of heat.<ref name="pmid13762404">{{cite journal| author=LINDSKOG GE| title=Some historical aspects of thoracic trauma. | journal=J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg | year= 1961 | volume= 42 | issue=  | pages= 1-11 | pmid=13762404 | doi= | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=13762404  }} </ref>
 
 
In 1514, Giovanni da Vigo, a well-known Italian surgeon and physician of Pope Julius II, was one of the first surgeons to discuss firearm wounds, including those to the chest in Practica Copiosa.<ref name="pmid13762404">{{cite journal| author=LINDSKOG GE| title=Some historical aspects of thoracic trauma. | journal=J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg | year= 1961 | volume= 42 | issue=  | pages= 1-11 | pmid=13762404 | doi= | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=13762404  }} </ref>
 
 
The first description of a water-seal chest drainage system may be attributed to Playfair in 1873, in the treatment of a child with thoracic empyema. He initially performed four aspirations, but each time the pleural fluid re-accumulated. He then opened the abscess cavity and inserted a flexible tube of caoutchouc (India gum rubber), with the distal end in a vessel of water on the floor. The tube drained one to two ounces of pus daily without any entry of air into the pleura, and the patient’s clinical condition improved. The tube was eventually removed, allowing the free entrance of air, necessitating a counter-opening with placement of a drainage tube which was removed a week later<ref name="pmid9146363">{{cite journal| author=Munnell ER| title=Thoracic drainage. | journal=Ann Thorac Surg | year= 1997 | volume= 63 | issue= 5 | pages= 1497-502 | pmid=9146363 | doi= | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=9146363  }} </ref>
 
In 1875, Gotthard Bülau described his use of closed water-seal chest drainage to treat an empyema, as an alternative to the standard rib resection and open tube drainage. He used a trocar to puncture the pleural space then introduced a rubber catheter with a distal clamp. The weighted free end of the catheter was immersed in a bottle one-third full of antiseptic solution and unclamped, creating a siphon drainage apparatus and allowing pus to flow from the chest.<ref name="pmid2679468">{{cite journal| author=Meyer JA| title=Gotthard Bülau and closed water-seal drainage for empyema, 1875-1891. | journal=Ann Thorac Surg | year= 1989 | volume= 48 | issue= 4 | pages= 597-9 | pmid=2679468 | doi= | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=2679468  }} </ref><ref name="pmid9436605">{{cite journal| author=Van Schil PE| title=Thoracic drainage and the contribution of Gotthard Bülau. | journal=Ann Thorac Surg | year= 1997 | volume= 64 | issue= 6 | pages= 1876 | pmid=9436605 | doi= | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=9436605  }} </ref>
