Placement of tube in bladder to remove urine | Urinary Catherization |
What steps do you take to determine if a urinary cath is needed? (4) | Obtain sterile specimen, check for PVR, verify that client is unable to void independently and or retain urine, obtain precise measurement of urinary output |
the process of flushing the bladder with normal saline to prevent or treat clot formation. | Bladder irrigation |
Used to irrigate bladder on scheduled basis or to obtain urine specimen | Straight catheter |

What size balloon is used for indwelling with adults? | 5-10 cc |
What FR is used for CBI? | 16-18 FR triple lumen |
What size balloon is used for indwelling with CBI? | 30cc |
How do you know what the FR size is for an in dwelling catheter? | It should be on the MD order |
What four types of materials are catheters made of? | Rubber, plastic, silastic, Teflon |
The bladder is normally a _____ cavity | Sterile |
Can the urethral meatus be sterilized? | No |
What causes UTIs | Pathogens introduced into the bladder |
What causes kidney infections? | When microbes ascend the ureter |

How much of catheter is cleaned during per care and in what direction is it cleaned? | 6” – 8” moving from the meatus downward |
What things get documented? (7) | Reason for cath, color/clarity/amount of urine return, type and size of catheter used and placed, client response to procedure |
What additional two things get documented for an indwelling catheter? | Balloon size, initiate I and O |
What are two situations that would necessitate intermittent bladder irrigation | To remove blockage from in-dwelling catheter tip or tubing, to instill medication |
What is a situation that would necessitate constant bladder irrigation? | To keep bladder free of clots and sediment |
What does CBI stand for | Constant Bladder Irrigation |
What supplies do you need for CBI?(4) | Use solutions per MD order, need stable IV pole, solution warmer prn, pt should have 3-way Foley with 30 cc balloon |
What is the procedure for CBI? | Prime CBI tubing (use aseptic technique), Connect tubing to in-flow port on catheter (be sure to ID CORRECT port!), Adjust flow rate per MD order |
Document | |
What are possible areas of contamination during CBI? | Soluton bag port or tubing tip when “spiking” bag, Contamination of tubing tip or catheter end when hooking tubing to catheter, with ANY break of an “in-line” system urinary drainage system, you risk contamination / introducing microbes |
What are possible areas of contamination during intermittent drainage? | On “closed drainage system” - Failure to disinfect aspiration port, contamination of needle used to instill NaCl flush or medication |
Where is a Suprapubic catheter inserted? | Through abdominal wall, into bladder (above symphysis pubis) |
Suprapubic catheters are usually inserted in the OR. True/False | TRUE |
Suprapubic catheters can be done outside of the OR if________________, | Using sterile technique and a special kit |
What is an example of when a Suprapubic catheter would be placed? | s/p GU or GYN procedure when perineum is too swollen to allow voiding via urethra |
When maintaining a new Suprapubic catheter, what is completed as a part of the assessment | A visual inspection, note if the catheter is patent |
How do you cleanse a Suprapubic catheter? | Circ. motion, start at cath insert. site & continue in outward circles for 2-3”. With fresh gauze, cleanse base of catheter, moving proximal to distal. With sterile gloved hand, apply drain dressing) and tape. Coil extra tubing & tape. |
What supplies are needed to remove an in-dwelling catheter? | Syringe, waterproof pad, clean gloves |
