Download or read book Drowning in Drainage written by Quan Dinh Ngo and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "DROWNING IN DRAINAGE? is a synopsis or guide to drains from the Division of Surgery, Liverpool Hospital. It fills a gap in the market and would be very useful for junior staff in most teaching and rural hospitals. It certainly has the basic information that junior staff need early in their surgical career. There is a trend, as discussed by the authors, in most major general surgical procedures not to use drains at all. There is increasing evidence that the use of drains prophylactically may be disadvantageous with respect to early healing and wound infection. And while the flushing of a drain is a reasonable approach, it is fraught with danger, including infection, despite attempting aseptic technique. The single most important message for junior staff is - 'if in doubt contact your senior'. DROWNING IN DRAINAGE? is very reader-friendly and the illustrations are well done. I consider it a timely publication that should be available to residents in all surgical wards. In particular, it is ideal for busy surgical residents who often have to cover areas of surgery they are not working in, and at night when complications with drains occur." - S Praga Pillay, General Surgeon, Brisbane, QLD
