Foley's catheterization and the sterile techniques used during the procedure

Описание: Foley catheterization is a procedure where a flexible tube is inserted through the urethra into the bladder to drain urine. This is done for reasons such as urinary retention, to monitor urine output in critically ill patients, after surgery, or to collect sterile urine samples. The catheter is held in place by a balloon that is inflated once it's in the bladder.


Purpose of Foley catheterization
Urinary Issues: Used to relieve urinary retention (inability to urinate) or obstruction, and to manage conditions like urinary incontinence or prostate enlargement.
Medical Monitoring: Helps monitor a patient's urine output, which is crucial in intensive care settings or for critically ill patients.
Surgery and Recovery: It may be used to drain the bladder during a surgical procedure or to control bleeding after surgery.
Bladder Function: It can be used to help patients with nerve-related bladder dysfunction or to administer medication directly into the bladder.
Diagnostic Testing: Used to obtain a sterile sample of urine for testing or to flush the bladder with fluids during diagnostic procedures.
How it works
A Foley catheter is a sterile, flexible tube made of latex, silicone, or plastic.
It is inserted into the bladder through the urethra.
Once the catheter is in the correct position, a small balloon at the tip is inflated with water or saline. This anchors the catheter in the bladder so it doesn't slip out.
Urine then drains from the bladder through the catheter and into a collection bag.
Sizing and we instilling fluids, which is often used for bladder irrigation.
