chest/pulmonary drainage method
Overholt suggested a method for pulmonary or chest operations where they drained the chest of the patient using a needle, where the patient was in a prone position (standing) --for what I am reading.
So I am not sure of the precise term but I would translate it as the "chest drainage method (Overholt)" or something similar.
I hope this helps some

It might be the "closed chest drainage" method also. I am not sure
