Get Check List Of Bladder Irrigation Form

Catheter flushes and bladder washouts can be carried out as and when required, or routinely (for example once or twice a day) to prevent a build-up of mucus within the bladder. The procedure is carried out using a bladder syringe and 0.9% Sodium Chloride (salty water) flushed through the catheter.

There are three methods of bladder irrigation: 1. continuous bladder irrigation (CBI) 2. intermittent bladder irrigation via irrigation pump bag 3. manual bladder irrigation.

Three way catheters have three channels: one for inflation of the balloon, one for urine drainage and one for connection of irrigation fluid. After a TURP/TURBT, the 3rd channel may be spigotted or connected to continuous irrigation.

Continuous bladder irrigation (CBI) is a medical procedure that flushes the bladder with sterile liquid. Healthcare providers use it to prevent or remove blood clots after surgery in the urinary system. Sterile solution enters the bladder through a thin tube, then the fluid is removed and collected in a bag.

Nursing Interventions Encourage the patient not on restricted fluid intake to increase intake to 3,000 ml per day to help flush the urinary system and reduce the sediment formation.

DOCUMENTATION Include the approximate amount and type of irrigation solution used, the estimated amount urine returned as drainage, characteristics of output, and patient tolerance. Use intake and output record as appropriate based on patient condition.
