Use an alcohol swab to clean the connection site. Pinch the catheter between your thumb and forefinger. Disconnect it from the drainage tubing. Put the end of the tubing on the clean towel. Attach the sterile syringe to the end of the catheter. Gently push the plunger so all of the normal saline solution flows through the catheter. Once the normal saline is all in, gently pull back on the plunger to take it back out. Clean the tip of the catheter with an alcohol swab.
Clean the tip of the drainage tubing with an alcohol swab. Do not use force to pull back hard on the plunger. This could hurt your child's bladder. Instead, gently try to pull back again. There are some catheter problems that you cannot take care of by yourself. These problems need a doctor or nurse:. If the flow of urine slows down or stops; if you notice a change in the colour of your child's urine; or if your child has a fever or chills, you should see the doctor. If you have any questions, you may also contact your family physician or paediatrician.

There are different types of urinary catheters: A Foley catheter enters your child's bladder through the tube that carries urine out of the body the urethra. A suprapubic catheter enters your child's bladder through a cut in the belly. Do not get your fingers on the top or inside of the bottle. Tap the syringe to remove any air bubbles. Remove the syringe from the saline bottle and hold it vertically.
Then, tap on the barrel with your knuckles to loosen any air bubbles. Place the syringe back into the bottle, then carefully push the plunger to get rid of the trapped air. Cover the syringe and set it to the side. To make sure it stays sterile, place the tip cover included with your syringe onto the catheter tip.
If a cover was not included, place the syringe back into its sterile packaging. Set it aside for later use. Part 2. Clean your hands a second time. For safety, you should wash your hands again even if you already did so while preparing the syringe. Wash your hands with soap and warm water, scrubbing well for at least 15 seconds. Dry them with a clean paper towel when finished. Place towels and a pan under the catheter. To absorb excess liquid and urine, place several towels beneath the connection site joining the catheter to the drainage tubing.
Then, position a pan beneath the open end of the catheter connection. This basin will collect urine and other fluids that escape the catheter as you irrigate it. Clean the catheter. Scrub the connection site between the catheter and drainage tubing with an alcohol pad, cleaning the area for 15 to 30 seconds before continuing. Allow the area to air dry on its own.
Do not dry it with towels, and do not attempt to speed up the drying process by blowing on the area with your breath or a fan. Separate the catheter from the drainage tubing. Gently twist the catheter off the drainage tubing to disconnect the two pieces. Place the end of the drainage tubing on a clean towel. Position the catheter over the collection basin you just prepared, but do not let the open end of the catheter actually touch the basin. Remove excess urine from the catheter using an empty syringe.
Place a sterile, empty syringe into the open end of the catheter that's over the basin. Gently pull the plunger back to check for excess urine. If you draw urine into the syringe, continue pulling to remove the urine currently inside the catheter. Remove as much urine as possible before continuing. Try to suction out any sediment or clots as you do this. Have the person wearing the catheter to sit in an upright position so more urine comes out. Dispose of urine in a toilet or other clean, sterile waste container.
Switch to the saline syringe. Remove the empty syringe from the catheter and dispose of it. Then, grab the syringe filled with saline solution and, if necessary, remove the cap.
Insert the saline-filled syringe into the catheter opening and twist the syringe until the connection feels secure. To keep it sterile, remember to avoid touching the end of the syringe.
Push the saline into the catheter. Push the plunger down to insert all of the saline into the catheter. Stop if you feel any resistance. When finished, pull back on the syringe plunger to remove as much of the saline solution as you can. If you encounter resistance, stop and call a doctor for help, as they may need to change the catheter or use a different technique to irrigate it.
Clean the catheter connection site and drainage tubing. Scrub both the catheter connection site and drainage tubing with an alcohol wipe for about 15 seconds.
Let them dry on their own, and do not attempt to speed up the process by drying them with towels or blowing on them with your mouth or a fan. Make sure to remove the drainage tubing cap before cleaning it. Remove the syringe and reinsert the tubing. To remove the syringe, pinch the end of the catheter while untwisting the syringe from the catheter cap.
Then, insert the tubing back into the catheter. The failure rate of deflation for the sterile water group and normal saline group were 9. Conclusion: There was no difference in the rate of deflation failure of latex Foley balloons by using either sterile water or normal saline as the filling solution. Abstract Background: Despite the lack of evidence, using normal saline for inflating the balloon of a Foley urethral catheter is frequently regarded as a cause for deflation failure.
Substances Sodium Chloride.
