    Thanks for watching this video. I hope that it was helpful if you have a foley catheter in place. Please let me know if you have any other topics you'd like for us to talk about

    Just had a TURBT done. Nurses are nothing short of being heaven sent. The care I received in recovery was humane and attentive. IMO they deserve all the praise and gratitude they've received during the pandemic. Also
    catheters are not fun.

    This video is leaving out something very important, sterilization. You need to ensure that the plug on the end of the drainage tube remains sterile, or else a UTI can occur. Do not touch the end of the plug or the sterile cap, and make sure you pinch the catheter tube when changing bags. Use antiseptic wipes.

      UTIs are more about microbiome than hygiene. A healthy, flourishing microbiome defends against invaders. Unfortunately, most catheter-users do not have a flourishing microbiome due to frequent antibiotic use.

    • @Wdcrabby
      @Wdcrabby 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      No. A healthy microbiome is more important prevention than hygiene. Hygiene only becomes crucial once there is no flourishing microbiome, and thus, no self-defense.

    In the night bag demonstration, you were wearing shorts. If the person is wearing long pajamas, does the tube for the night bag extend down the pant leg or does it loop up over the waistband of the pajamas and hang off there? Thanks for the video!

    • @DrRobertChan
      @DrRobertChan  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      depending on the type of bag and how long the tubing is, it will extend down the pant leg. there is also tubing extenders if the tube is not long enough on the bag

      @yankeehank1897 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@DrRobertChan Thank you, Dr. Chan! It's the same night bag as shown in your video. I suspect it will need a tube extender to allow the bag to drape over the bed. But the only ones I can find online are only 18" long. I can find a roll of tubing from Home Depot, but where can I find the connector tips? Thanks again!

    • @DrRobertChan
      @DrRobertChan  4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I don't think you necessarily need to do that, but it definitely will probably help keeping it clean. I'd recommend a solution of dilute vinegar.
      Next, you will need to disinfect the leg bag with a mixture of white (distilled) vinegar and water. Do not use yellow (cider) vinegar. Mix 1 ¼ cups of white vinegar with 2 quarts of water. Rinse the bag well with this solution to help reduce urine odor.

  • @buckets212
    @buckets212 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    What can you do when the tubing that connects the catheter to the drainage bag is too long to allow you to attach to the thign? Also, the Stat-lock allows you to secure the tube in either the vertical or hoizontal position. The velcro strap has to be wrapped around the thigh (horizontal), so the tube being secured must be perpendicular to that, meaning vertical (as you are standing). That decreases the distance between the entry to the bag and the tip of the penis, which makes the long length of tubing evan more of a problem.

    Pinching the catheter when switching from day bag to night bag does not prevent the urine from coming out of the catheter. It still comes out and is quite messy. You have to make sure you are not itching the end of the catheter or tip of the tubing while you switch the bags. I have been doing this as a nurse for 25 years. I wish you would demonstrate in a real patient and show all of us how you do this with a sterile technique without having urine leak out of the catheter. Totally impossible. That is why so many patients get UTI’s or don’t bother to use the leg bag.
