Day 7. Reading has increased from 160 mls to 280 mls.
attended dressing clinic yesterday and had a couple of long walks involved. No pain at site, no infection, simply a massive volume increase. Concerned. Any advice welcomed. Thank you,
It isn't unusual for the fluid draining from the site to be around 250mls a day. If however it worsens, remains bright red or turns a green colour and you feel unwell let your team know.
I hope this helps. Please get back to us if you need any more information or support. You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
