1. Q

   Question: Why do I feel pain or discomfort when draining fluid? What should I do?

   Asked by Sam on Mar 18, 2017 Report
   • A
     Answer: It is normal to feel some pain when draining, especially in the chest area. Use the white pinch clamp on the drain line to slow the flow of fluid. This may relieve some of the pain. If you feel an unusual or increasing pain, stop the drainage procedure and contact your doctor or nurse.

2. Q

   Question: What if the fluid suddenly stops to drain or what if there is no fluid flow at all?

   Asked by Harry on Mar 18, 2017 Report
   • A
     Answer: Ensure that the Drainage Bag and drain line is lower than your Catheter/Catheter Valve. The Bag requires gravity for the fluid to flow.The catheter valve may have become blocked or the connector on the drain line is not firmly connected to the catheter valve. Disconnect, clean the valve with an alcohol wipe and reconnect it firmly. If this does not help try using a new drainage kit.
     If there is still no fluid flow from the catheter it may have become occluded. Disconnect the catheter using the proper procedures. Clean the skin around the catheter and use the dressing change items to cover the catheter. Contact your doctor or nurse.

   Question: How often should I drain the fluid from abdomen or chest?

     Answer: Generally you should drain the fluid every two days. The amount of fluid drained should not exceed 1,000mL in the chest during any one drainage procedure; 2,000mL in the peritoneum during any one drainage procedure. However, you should always follow directions of your doctors in regards to amount and frequency of fluid drained.
