Drainage tube

There are many types of surgical drainage tubes used clinically, some for catheterization, some for wounds, chest, brain cavity, gastrointestinal tract, biliary tract, etc. Surgical drainage is to guide the accumulation of pus, blood and liquid in the body tissue or body cavity to prevent postoperative infection and affect wound healing. Care should be taken when applying the drainage tube to the patient. Basic Information Specialist classification: cardiovascular examination classification: physical examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: fasting Tips: Inappropriate people: no special requirements. Normal value Pus, blood, and fluid accumulated in human tissues or in body cavities are guided to the outside to prevent postoperative infection and affect wound healing. Clinical significance Abnormal results: Lacrimal duct drainage tube 1, chronic dacryocystitis; 2, lacrimal duct stenosis; 3, nasolacrimal duct stenosis, obstruction; 4, tear point stenosis, obstruction; 5, lacrimal duct fracture and other lacrimal duct diseases; 6, nasal lacrimal sac Anastomosis. Ordinary drainage tube 1, drainage gas, liquid (digestive juice, peritoneal fluid, pus, incision exudation sputum) to the outside, reduce local pressure, reduce adhesion, promote healing; 2, for detection, treatment. Tracheotomy Sucking Intratracheal suction is a necessary means to keep the airway open, which can stimulate the patient to cough and suck out airway secretions to prevent lung complications. The chest drainage tube discharges the gas and liquid in the pleural cavity, and reconstructs the negative pressure to re-expand the lung. Three-chamber two-capsule tube 1, pumping up the effusion (blood) in the stomach tube, accumulating gas, reducing gastric dilatation; 2, esophagus in patients with cirrhosis, compression and hemostasis of gastric fundus rupture; 3, understanding the amount and nature of gastric juice To provide a basis for clinical judgment of disease and treatment. People who need to be examined: for wounds, chest, brain cavity, gastrointestinal tract, biliary tract, etc., all patients need to be examined. Precautions Contraindications before examination: Pay attention to keeping all kinds of drainage tubes clean with the wound or mucous membrane to prevent infection. Keep the drainage tube unobstructed, pay attention to observation at any time, do not be stressed and twisted, and turn into angles to avoid affecting drainage. Also pay attention to the fixation of the drainage tube to avoid displacement and escape. Inspection requirements: When applying the drainage tube, it should be noted that the position of the drainage bottle should not be higher than the plane of the patient's cannula. When moving the patient, the drainage tube should be clamped first; when the drainage fluid exceeds half of the bottle body, it should be dumped to prevent backflow pollution caused by the high liquid level. Record the color, traits and quantity of drainage, and report to the doctor in time. Inspection process 1. Wear a mask and wash your hands. 2. Place the spare part on the treatment cart, push it to the patient's bed, and explain the work to the patient.

Check if the sterile drainage bag is sealed and expired. Open the outer packaging, check the drainage bag for damage or tube distortion, hang the drainage tube on the edge of the bed, and then place the drainage bag outer packaging under the drainage tube interface. 5. Squeeze the drainage tube and use a vascular clamp to inject the 3 cm at the end of the drainage tube. 6. Disinfect the drainage tube joint with PVP iodine cotton swab, firstly disinfect the drainage tube with the interface as the center, and then disinfect 2.5 cm to the longitudinal shape above and below the interface. 7. Use your left hand to remove the toxic gauze and pinch the drain tube at the joint to disengage the joint. 8. Disinfect the nozzle of the drainage tube with a PVP iodine cotton swab. 9. Connect the sterile drainage bag, loosen the vascular clamp, squeeze the drainage tube, observe whether it is smooth, and fix the drainage tube to the sheets with a pin. 10. Organize the materials and properly place the patients. 11. Strictly record the amount and nature of the drainage fluid. Not suitable for the crowd Inappropriate people: no special requirements.
