Just a question on this jp drain I empty it morning and night and it's always 5ml I'm 5 days post op should this be less or is this normal?
You are doing great. Every doctor has his / her own approach.
One said anything less than 15 would be ok for the drain to
discontinued. Actually the less excess fluid trapped in your wound
is probable the better. Do not confuse any of these replies with
anything having to do with a 'leak'.

Thanks for posting this question. I too was wondering about the amount. I was sleeved on 3-10. I remove between 25-40 ml's of fluid from my drain every 12 hours.
