Foley catheter’s daily care 留置導尿管的生活照顧
2024/1/17
Why are patients in need of foley catheter insertion?
- To help patients with urination.
- To collect samples for urine test.
After inserting catheters, what should be noticed?
- All patients should drink plenty of water to urinate more than 2000c.c. of urine to prevent urinary tract infection; yet patients being refrained from water drinking are not included in this category.
- Do not compress and fold the catheter or pull it because it could result bleeding.
- Urine bag should be emptied every 8 hours or emptied when urine amount reaches half of the bag.
- The connection of the urine bag should be tightened and sealed to prevent contamination.
- The urine bag should be placed lower than patients’ bladder to avoid urine reflux; also do not have it touch the ground.
- Latex materials are replaced every 14 days and silicone materials are replaced every month; if there are signs of infection or obstruction, they must be replaced immediately for the patient's benefit.
- When there is too much secretion or when patients finish defecation, clean and rinse the foley.
- Inform our medical staff immediately if any of the following conditions occurs:
- Fever, chills
- Urethra pain
- Turbid urine
- Increased urethral discharge
- How to take care the catheter
- Male patients:
- Moisten towels with soap or rub the soap to create foam, rub patients’ penis and genitals, and then flush with water.
- Push the wrapper gently to the body, expose urethral meatus, clean corrugation place, and wipe with towels from inside out.
- Place the wrapper at its original place
- Female patients:
- Moisten towels with soap or rub the soap to create foam, rub patients’ genitals, then flush it with water and dry their skin with towels.
- Push aside the lips of vulva; clean from urethra to anus.
- Clean foley catheter from inside out.
- Replaces fixed spot catheter everyday:
- The foley catheter of male patients must be fixed on the lower belly.
- The foley catheter of female patients must be fixed in the inside of leg up to the 1/3 region.
- Our medical staff will be more than happy to answer your questions regarding the foley catheter.
