Get Houdini Protocol

The Houdini Protocol is an essential document used in managing urinary catheters. This guide provides clear, step-by-step instructions for completing the protocol effectively, ensuring adherence to best practices in patient care.

Follow the steps to complete the Houdini Protocol form accurately

1. Press the ‘Get Form’ button to access the Houdini Protocol online form. This allows you to begin the process electronically.
2. In the section for the date of urinary catheter insertion, enter the specific date. Ensure the format is clear and easy to read. This information is crucial for tracking the catheter's duration.
3. Review the criteria listed in the protocol. Check each criterion that the patient meets by placing a mark next to the appropriate items. It is vital to ensure accurate documentation, as a selection here indicates whether the urinary catheter should remain in place.
4. If none of the above criteria are applicable, follow the procedure outlined for discontinuation. Ensure that the registered nurse's name is recorded, along with the date and time of the catheter removal.
5. After removal, monitor the patient for voiding within six hours. Document any findings in the provided sections, indicating the volume of urine voided or if a bladder scan or catheterization was necessary.
6. Finally, save your changes to the document, and use the available options to download, print, or share the completed protocol as required.
