What Is The Nursing Point Of Abdominal Cavity Drainage Tube?

1. Properly fix the drainage tube and the drainage bag to prevent the patient from pressing, twisting or pulling the drainage tube out during the change of position. In addition, it can also avoid or reduce the pain caused by the pulling of the drainage tube.

2. Keep drainage unobstructed. If the drainage flow is suddenly reduced and the patient feels abdominal distension and fever, check whether the drainage cavity is blocked or whether the drainage tube falls off.

3, pay attention to observe the color, quantity, odor and residue of the drainage fluid, accurately record the 24-hour drainage flow, and pay attention to the change of the amount and shape of the drainage fluid, in order to judge the development trend of the patient's condition.

4. Pay attention to observe the skin around the drainage tube for redness, swelling, skin damage and other conditions.

5. Pain observation: The pain at the drainage mouth of the patient is usually caused by the stimulation of the drainage fluid to the surrounding skin, or by the excessive compression of the drainage tube to the local tissue causing secondary infection or migration abscess. This situation may also cause pain in other parts, and the pain at the local fixed point is generally the location of the lesion.
