Determining the Effect of Two Different Methods in Children to Maintain Drain Patency After Cardiac Surgery

"Common Process Steps:~1. Informed consent forms will be signed by those who wish to take part in the research.~2. The form in which individual characteristics are questioned will be filled.~3. Hands will be washed, gloves will be worn.~4. Before the procedure, body temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation and bleeding amount will be recorded.~5. Drains will be kept parallel to the ground and upright.~6. Drainage hoses will not be bent and in-bed position will be provided in accordance with gravity.~7. It will be ensured that all connections between the chest tubes and drainage unit are tight and secure.~8. Dressings of the chest and mediastinum drains will be fixed on the patient's skin, so as not to interfere with drainage.~9. To prevent the tubes from coming out, they will be fixed to the patient bed.~Vital signs, Sp02 and bleeding amount will be recorded every hour for 6 hours after surgery"

"1. Common process steps~2. Appropriate negative pressure monitoring system of the patient, who is admitted to the intensive care unit with underwater drainage system, will be established.~ * The suction control room combined with the vacuum regulator will be filled with sterile distilled water up to the specified level (20 cm H2O).~ * From the vacuum regulator, the drain or drains will be connected tightly and by preventing the crimping, from the aspirator receptor hoses.~3. Suction will begin with a low level and gradually increase the suction until a slight bubble is noticed in the suction control room.~4. Suction pressure will be maintained between 5 and 15 kPa (kilopascals) or 10-20 cm H20.~5. The application will continue without interruption until the patient's drain need and the doctor's request is ended.~6. During the application, the patient's vital signs, Sp02 and bleeding amount will be recorded every hour without using an additional manipulation method."

"1. Common process steps will be applied~2. Operation will start from the area near the drain entrance point~3. Latex tube will be folded into 12 cm long pieces and will be gripped with two hands~4. The procedure will be repeated 3 times by compressing the parts gripped by the nurse hand.~5. This process will be repeated in the distal part.~6. After the application, the patient's vital signs, Sp02 and bleeding amount will be recorded every hour without using an additional manipulation method."
