I love pus
If you are an EM:RAP listener, this is the video I talked about in the November episode on abscess management and examine a new technique for draining a cutaneous abscess
I am a huge fan of this procedure and use it on most abscesses that I would have otherwise packed.
Why I like it: there is no packing to change, the incisions stay open because of the drain and the incisions themselves are much smaller than we historically use.
About Rob Orman
Great information. Plan to have all the Docs and PA’s at our ED review this technique.
