It is normal for the suction unit to be full six hours after surgery, and the nurse does not need to notify the surgeon. The drainage unit should be emptied when full or every 8 hours. The drain in the incision should remain in place until the surgeon removes it. While all drainage should be noted as output on the chart, recording the amount without emptying the drainage unit is not accurate nor is it safe practice.
