This video demonstrates how to milk the tubing of your Jackson-Pratt drain, empty the drainage bulb, and properly record the amount of fluid collected in the...
A Jackson-Pratt (JP) drain is a surgical suction drain that gently draws fluid from a wound to help you recover after surgery. To use one, you’ll need to regularly empty a collection bulb that catches the fluid draining from your wound. The bulb pulls the fluid out when it’s squeezed.
Empty the bulb/collection container at least 2 times a day (morning and before bedtime). Empty it more often if needed, whenever it is 1/3 full. When you empty less than 30 cc of drainage from the bulb/collection container in two 24-hour periods, for 2 days in a row, call your health care provider.
27 Νοε 2023 · To care for Jackson-Pratt drains, first cut your gauze pads halfway to the center so they can easily wrap around the drains. Then, uncap the bulb and empty your drain into the measuring cup your doctor should have given you.
How do I “strip” my Jackson-Pratt drain? To prevent blood clots from blocking your drain, you will need to “strip” it. To strip means to pinch the tube with your thumb and index finder and slide the alcohol swab down the tube away from your body. Strip your drain each time you empty it.
Keep the bandage and tube site dry when you shower. Ask your healthcare provider about the best way to do this. “Stripping” the tube helps keep blood clots from blocking the tube. Ask your nurse how often you should strip the tube. However, depending on where and why your doctor placed the tube, stripping may not be necessary.
