How to empty catheter bag video?

If Jess from “New Girl” can handle doing it for Nick, then you can handle emptying a catheter bag! Don’t worry if you don’t know what that is, we’ll explain everything in detail. In this hilarious guide, we will go over the ins and outs of how to empty a catheter bag video. We hope you have your sense of humor ready because things are about to get wild!

Before You Start:

Alright so first things first – let’s talk about some important items that you’ll need before getting started.

Materials:

  • Gloves
    • Pro Tip: Make sure they’re the non-latex kind because allergies suck (not as bad as having a catheter though!)
  • Disposable wipes
    • Pro Tip: Choose one with moisturizing ingredients; after all, no one likes cracked skin.
  • Measuring container
    • Pro Tip: Use an old measuring cup or dive into your cabinet for something cheap cause why spend money?

In addition to these items, make sure that the person who has the catheter is lying down comfortably on their back with their legs spread apart. Now let’s dive right in!

Step 1: Wash Your Hands & Put On Those Gloves

Don’t forget: Scrub-a-dub those hands for at least twenty seconds like Mom taught us! Not only will this keep germs away but also prevent accidental bacteria transfer into sensitive areas.

Afterwards put on these gloves because NOBODY wants anything gross coming in contact with bare hands. Trust us when we say even The Flash takes his time changing latex gloves – he knows better not rush through glove changes

Step 2: Position Yourself Next To The Person With The Catheter

This doesn’t mean sidle up next them like they’re an interesting person at any social gathering. Instead, grab a seat beside the person who has their catheter installed.

Pro Tip: Avoid eye contact with them if they’re uncomfortable having someone stare whilst doing their thing.

Step 3: Unclamping The Catheter Tube

The amount of fluid in the bag can be checked by examining sight window on bottom part of bag.

When you get to this point, it’s time to unclamp the catheter tube. This is when things start to get serious, so you might want to hold your breath for just a second or two (but seriously don’t because that’ll only make things more uncomfortable). You’ll notice that as soon as you take off the clamp from where it was connected, urine will start flowing through the tubing and into your measuring container.

Pro Tip: Don’t forget hands free technique while handling equipment!

Step 4: Deciding on When To Stop The Flow & Measuring Urine Output

Your measurement may vary based upon factors such fluids intake, prescription drugs usage etc. Continue until there’s no more urine coming out of the tube…

Once there isn’t any liquid left flowing through into container set aside -I mean assuming last fluid brought tears running down cheek , then stop immediately …but if not…proceed till all liquids are collected safely

As urine travels along inside clamped areas before empting via valve but concentration levels maximum when opening up valve therefore important do not allow bladder regain fullness quickly after relieving self of few millilitres during earlier attempts

For patients who need careful monitoring as per physician instructions timing accuracy plays key role . Remember life is about getting objectives completed satisfactorily so ideally measure output each time individual goes even if using external collection bag or manually drains collection system.

Step 5 : Use Disposable Cleaning Wipes

To prevent infections caused by particles residing within tubes turn attention onto some disposable wipes cause let’s face it chaos is inevitable whether at home or on the road. While draining bag, begin wiping down parts with moisture-laden mess and then let dry before moving onto next one.

Pro Tip: Shake it off like a pro afterwards

Step 6: Clean The Catheter Tubing & ReClamp

After emptying the catheter completely use your wipes to clean along the tubing taking attention around where clamps have been situated followed by re-clamping them.

Now that you’re done emptying out their catheter bag (phew!) don’t forget to wash those germs away – go forth and live a better life knowing you’ve mastered how to empty a catheter bag video!
