The red signal diaphragm deflects upwards when the catheter tip enters the pleural space. It then continues to fluctuate with
respiration as the intrapleural pressure varies from > +2mm Hg to <-2mm Hg.When the signal diaphragm stays in the down position and
the patient is asymptomatic the pneumothorax may be resolved.
