Purpose

The drainage tube is placed through the skin to drain the abscess, hematoma or accumulated fluid inside the body and alleviate the clinical symptoms.

Instructions for Post Drain Insertion

  • After insertion of the drain, please rest in bed for 6 hours to avoid wound oozing. You may sit up or turn over during bed rest.
  • After insertion of the drain, please follow the instructions of food intake provided by the physician.  

Daily Care

  • Patient can still leave the bed and move after the insertion of drain. Use a pin or clipper to fix the drain on the cloth with proper length of the tube reserved to avoid pulling the tube when moving.
  • Keep the drain and the drainage bag lower than the wound to prevent the reflux of drainage fluid.
  • Do not put the drainage bag on the ground to prevent contamination of drainage bag.
  • The nurses will monitor the drainage amount and replace wound dressing everyday.
  • For any wetness of the wound gauze, please inform the nurses.
  • When drainage amount decreased, the physician will arrange examination for drainage tube revision.
