empty wound drainage

Empting wound drainage bottle
To empting wound drainage consists of a drain connected to either an electric suction or portable drainage suction, such as a Hemovac or Jackson Pratt. The empting drainage to reduce the possible entry of microorganism into the wound through the drain.The drainage tube are sutured in place and connected to a reservoir. The Jackson Pratt drainage tube is connected to a reservoir that maintains constant low suction.
Firstly, we must check the doctor order and prepare the equipment. Secondly, the equipment for empting wound drainage bottle are meter container, alcohol swab and glove. thirdly, Wear the glove after hand washing, than clamp the drainage tubing, remove the tie at the bottle and clean the top of hemovac using alcohol swab and then press the hemovac and connect it again. After that, Tie the drainage at the bed site and clean the bed and equipment. Lastly, record the colour, amount, time and date.
In my conclusion, the surgeon inserts the wound drainage tube during surgery. Generally the suction is discontinuing d from 3 to 5 days postoperatively or when the drainage is minimal. To reestablish suction, place the container on a solid, flat surface with the port open.

The procedure for wound dressing are open the first layerof strill pack and expose the wound area. After that ,put the linean protector under the wound and loose the micropors. And than, do the surgical hand washing and dry hand.

The another procedore are open the second layer of strile pack. Arrange of fix the instrument in the strile pack. After that open the strile glove and put the normal saline to the galy pot. And then do the second surgical hand washing and dry hand. Wear strile and squeeze the cotton ball and prepare swab. Remove the old dressing .

Lastly, start the dressing from inner to outer ,do until the wound clear and using one cotton ball in one user . after that t cover the wound by the dry garvee. After that coveer the wound by the dry garve and put micropors.and than clean the aquipment
Wound dressing will prevent eli and ontrol infection. It also can prevent wount skin surrounding woundd further injury and protect skin surrounding the wound. It can maintain a moist enviroment and control bleeding. Wound dressing are the therapy to cover the wound.

REMOVAL STITCHES.

Removal stitches
Stitches or suture is a thread used to sew body tissue together. Suture used to attach tissue beneath the skin are often made of an absorbable material that disappears in several days. Skin suture, by contrast are made of a variety of non absorbable material, such as silk, cotton, linen, wire, nylon, and Dacron (polyester fiber). The procedure of removal stitches are grasp the suture at the knot with a pair of forceps and pull the suture out in one piece.
The procedure of remove stitches are grasp the suture at the knot with pair of forceps, place the curve tip of the suture scissor under the stitches as close to the skin as possible ,either on the side opposite the knot or directly under the knot, cut the suture. Sutures as close to the skin as possible on one site of the visible part because the suture material that is visible to the eye is in contact with resident bacteria of the skin an must not be pulled beneath the skin during removal. Suture material that is beneath the skin is considered free from bacterial.
Secondly, the procedure are with the forceps, pull the suture out in one pieces. Inspect the suture carefully to make sure that all suture material is removed. Suture material left beneath the skin acts a foreign body an courses inflammation.
In conclusion, the removal stitches can usually make on 7 to 10 days after surgery. That it can be protect the infection.

Take the ribbon gauze with dominant forsep and past to non dominant forsep and pack the wound slowly. Cut the ribbon gauze with sterile scissor and cover the wound with sterile gauze.

In conclusion, wound irrigation can prevent the wound from infected with microorganism that can help the process to curing will become more fast. It also from the food of client take everyday.

Swab CNS (Culture and Sensitivity)

CNS swab is for know the development disease or feedback from treatment. It is also to identify the microorganism potentially causing infection and the antibiotic to which the sensitivity. The procedure for swab CNS such as prepares the equipment, step to take the specimen using CNS swab and documentation.
Firstly, prepare the equipment to take the specimen, rib swab sterile, bottle specimen with culture and sensitivity, charcoal swab, book report for specimen, mask and glove.
Secondly, the step to take the specimen using CNS swab, do dressing at wound with aseptic technique. Loose the rib swab sterile and swab the wound with circle and then put the rib swab that have the specimen into the bottle specimen without touch area of bottle that it because to prevent contaminated for the specimen.

Central venous is for help doctor to insert catheter. It also for measure in right atrium. It also call CVP. It have two part to insert catheter are Subclavian and bracial. The procedure of CVP are equipment for measuring and monitoring CVP and observe sign and symptom.
The equipment for measuring and monitoring CVP are 10ml syringe with 5ml saline solution, manometer tubing, manometer ruler, 3-way stopcock, normal saline 0.9%, antimicrobial swabs, marker pen and drip stand. All the equipment must be prepare before the procedure. Dring the procedure, all the equipment must put on the trolley.
To observe sign and symptom indicating need for central venous pressure measurement are blood pressure low or labile, intake and output widely diverse and fluid administration at the rapid rate. CVP measurement will help in diagnosing hypotension and thus initiating the appropriate treatment. Rapid fluid administration can cause congestive heart failure.
In conclusion, CVP can provide and estimate of fluid balance ant to aid in correction of fluid imbalance. CVP also to evaluate blood volume and pumping action of heart. It can help the patient from dehydration. The value that normal fluid in body are 5-10cm3 it are regular measurement for CVP.
