How Much Fluid Should Be Draining in a Day in Order for my Jp Drains to Be Taken Out?

Most surgeons will pull the drains if the amount is less than 20 ml/24 hrs over a few days. It will also depend on the consistency of the the fluid.

Drains are tubes placed in an operative bed which are usually closed suction systems which help to remove fluid normally secreted by the body in the immediate healing process. The volume usually accepted for drain removal is 30 cc per day for two consecutive days, though this can be variable depending on drain location. I hope this helps. Dr. Trussler
