How do women use urine bags?

Because the female urethra is short, only about 3-5cm long, and the expansion is better, the urethral opening is below the clitoris, and the sagittal fissure should be correctly identified when inserting the urine bag. First, prepare relevant items, explain the purpose to the patient, and cover the patient. Then instruct or assist the patient to clean the vulva, lie supine, cover it with a quilt and a large towel, and expose the vulva; place a disposable diaper or towel under the buttocks, open a disinfection bag, prepare a disinfectant, and wear a sterile hand on the left hand. Gloves, place the prepared cleaning and disinfection materials between the legs of the patient, and hold the hemostatic forceps with the right hand to clean the vulva with a 0.1% Xinjieer cotton ball. The principle is from top to bottom, from inside to outside. After cleaning, replace the hemostatic forceps, separate the labia majora with the thumb and index finger of the left hand, and take the urethral opening as the center. Each cotton ball is used only once, and the dirty cotton ball and the used forceps are placed in the bend at the end of the bed. Then open the urine bag and prepare a 0.1% solution of sangelamide and sterile paraffin oil. Wear sterile gloves throughout the use of the urine bag, lay a hole towel, lubricate the front end of the urine bag, separate the labia majora with the thumb and index finger of the left hand, and hold the hemostatic forceps with the right hand to sterilize the urethral opening again. Another hemostatic forceps is inserted into the urethra 4-6cm gently with a urine bag, and then 1-2cm after seeing urine. Finally, if urine culture is required, use a sterile specimen bottle or test tube to take it, close the bottle cap, and place it in a suitable place. After the treatment bowl is full of urine, use a hemostat to flatten the end of the urine bag, place it between the middle fingers of the left hand, and pour the urine into the bedpan. After catheterization, wrap the urine bag with gauze, pull it out, and put it into the treatment bowl. Wipe the vulva, take off the gloves, remove the hole towel, clean up the supplies, assist the patient to put on pants, arrange the bed unit, measure and record the urine volume, and send the specimen for examination.

How do men use urine bags?

The angle of the male is relatively long, but there are two curvatures, namely the active pubic curvature and the fixed inferior pubic curvature; the three narrow parts are the internal urethral orifice, the membrane part, and the external urethral orifice. These anatomical characteristics must be mastered during catheterization so that the urine bag can be inserted smoothly. First, prepare things, explain them to the patient, and cover the patient. Then wash the lower body. Then spread the treatment towel under the patient's buttocks, open the disinfection bag, prepare disinfectant, wear gloves on the left hand, and wash the penis twice with disinfectant cotton balls. The left hand holds sterile gauze to wrap the penis, push the foreskin back, fully expose the urethral orifice and the coronal sulcus, strictly disinfect the urethral orifice and glans, spiral upward to the coronal sulcus, a total of 3 times, disinfect the back of the penis and the scrotum 5 times, each Cotton balls are limited to one use. Sterile gauze is placed between the penis and the scrotum. Immediately after opening the urine bag, prepare 0.1% serotonin solution and sterile paraffin oil. Wear sterile gloves and lay a hole in the towel. Lubricate the urine bag 18-20cm. Expose the urethral orifice, sterilize it again, and lift the penis so that it forms a 60-degree angle with the abdominal wall. Then hemostatic forceps, hold the urine bag and gently insert it into the urethra for about 18-20cm, and then insert it for 1-2cm after seeing urine. If there is resistance when inserting the urine bag, wait for a while, ask the patient to open his mouth and take a deep breath, and then insert it slowly. Avoid violence. Finally, urine culture specimens were collected and cleaned up as needed.
