Treating patients for cardiac disorders is no easy task. It requires careful monitoring and great sensitivity towards patient recovery. While there are many factors that can impact a patient’s recovery after cardiac surgery, experts agree that a functioning drainage system is one of the most vital tools for preventing complications after cardiac surgery and reducing the length of hospital stay.
