Drainage refers to inducing, decompressing, and excreting fluid, exudate fluid, blood, pus, etc. that are trapped in the animal's subcutaneous, thoracic cavity, abdominal cavity, etc. into the body, decompression and excretion.
When implementing drainage, it is necessary to correctly select, set up and manage the drainage pipe according to the purpose, which is very important for whether it can drain effectively. Successful drainage can shorten postoperative management time, thereby reducing the pain in the animal. General knowledge of
Drainage Although
Drainage is often used after surgical treatment and surgery, this article will still summarize the purpose, principles and methods of evacuation. After surgical treatment and surgery, the owner will directly observe the flow catheter. The veterinarian should explain the catheter setting, extubation time, etc., which not only allows the postoperative management to be carried out well, but also minimizes the uneasiness of the owner. Classification and application of drainage
1. Therapeutic drainage
is to discharge secretion (exudate, leaky fluid, blood, plate, etc.) and air, as well as air, in the body, subcutaneously, in the chest or abdominal cavity of the animal, with the purpose of promoting wound healing. Special drainage includes biliary drainage surgery performed to alleviate yellow plague when acute cholecystitis occurs, and abdominal drainage during peritoneal dialysis. Drainage can also be applied when swelling intradermal or subcutaneously, hematoma (accompanied infection), swelling around the uterus, peritonitis, pericardial tampon, pleural hydrocele, pneumothorax, etc.
2. Preventive drainage
After surgery, preventive drainage can be taken if blood, exudate, wet fluid, and air are predicted to be retained in the chest or abdominal cavity. Preventive drainage is suitable for various incisions, thoracic surgery, and laparotomy. It can be used if it is confirmed that it is infected at the site, malnutrition, diabetes, liver disease, and long-term administration of steroids, etc., causing slow wound healing; it is also applicable when a large cavity is formed after lobectomy or hepatolopectomy.
3. Diagnostic (information) drainage
After surgery, bleeding, insufficiency, infection, etc. may occur in the chest or abdominal cavity. In order to quickly diagnose and check before these complications cause clinical symptoms such as fever and anemia, diagnostic drainage is often used. Indications are the same as those of preventive induced senile surgery. If a surgical procedure with a high possibility of complications occurs, drainage will be performed at the site where complications may occur. After the purpose of the animal device drainage tube is clear, it is also necessary to understand the postoperative manager. If it is a postoperative diagnostic drainage, a small discharge volume will not cause too much problem; but if it is a therapeutic drainage, a small discharge volume may mean that the liquid has not been discharged and is left in full. The reasons need to be investigated and resolved.
