Drains are a common feature of the post-operative management of surgical patients. While drains serve an important function they are also associated with complications such as haemorrhage, tissue inflammation, retrograde bacterial migration and drain entrapment. It is therefore essential that nurses are familiar with the monitoring and management of surgical drains, but also the process involved in their removal.
引流管是外科手术患者术后管理的常见组成部分。虽然引流管发挥着重要作用，但它们也与诸如出血、组织炎症、细菌逆行迁移和引流管嵌顿等并发症相关。因此，护士不仅要熟悉外科引流管的监测和管理，还要熟悉引流管拔除过程，这至关重要。
