As far as I'm aware de-vacing in advance reduced the amount of bleeding on removal of the drain but in the hospital I worked in it wasn't standard practice. The nurses tended to just devac and remove the drain immediately.

Have you looked in the Royal Marsden Clinical Procedure Manual? I've not my copy to hand but I'll be having a read later - you've got me thinking.
