How does a catheterization actually work?
A urinary catheter works by inserting the lubricated tip of the catheter into the urethra. Once urine begins to be drained by the tube, you inflate the catheter balloon with 10 ml of saline.
Catheter can not be removed after deflation?
Depends on what kind of catheter, but I assume you mean the standard Foley (urinary) catheter. Most likely what is causing this is obstruction of the fill lumen by salt that has crystallized out of normal saline. This happens when the balloon is filled with normal saline and not water. Are you able to fill and empty the catheter? If not then most likely it is clogged with salt. Remedy is go see a doctor, they will probably cut the catheter completely in two closer in the middle of the catheter to release the fluid in the balloon and then the catheter should come out.
Is a suprapubic catheter the same as a foley catheter?
No, they're inserted at different sites. In a suprapubic an incision in made just above the pubic hair region hence the name.

Why is normal saline given after blood transfusion?
Normal saline is the only IV fluid which is compatible with our blood. Given before to flush blood from the iv catheter and after to rinse it to make the site patent.
Why is a patient who is pronounced clinically brain dead given a syringe shot when removed from life support?
People are NOT given a shot with a syringe after being pronounced clinically brain dead. There are several instances I can think of that you could think a nurse was giving an injection to someone who is dead.Let me explain:If a person is on a ventilator, the tube in their mouth/throat is held in place with a balloon that is inflated. The only way to remove the tube is by deflating the balloon. A syringe--without a needle--is inserted into a special valve that allows the balloon to deflate.The same process deflates the balloon that holds a urinary catheter in the bladder; the nurse draws back on the syringe to remove the normal saline in the balloon.IVs in arms would just be removed without flushing the site with Normal Saline (NS).Even when your loved one is pronounced dead, the family can still ask a nurse to explain what she is doing, whether it is removing a trach, an IV, or catheter. ASK.
Can you use bacteriostatic sodium chloride as a saline flush for PICC lines?
Yes, bacteriostatic sodium chloride can be used as a saline flush for PICC (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter) lines. It helps maintain catheter patency and prevents bacterial growth in the catheter lumen. However, it is essential to follow the specific guidelines and recommendations provided by healthcare professionals or the manufacturer for proper use and administration.
Can sterile saline be used interchangeably with injectable saline?
no sterile saline cannot be used because strile saline is different from injectable saline. strile saline is used for irrigating the wound and injectable saline in given intravenously

What are the nursing responsibilities in introducing Indwelling folley catheter?
Asess and educate the patient and/or family members, assess the patient's anatomy for proper size foley and any anomalies, tell pt. what you are doing as you perform catheterization; keep sterile, using a prep agent which is not harmful to the patient;place the foley and wait for urine drainage then inflate the balloon with the prescribed amount of saline; properly anchor the foley and maintain the drainage system at the proper depth. Re-educate the patient as needed.
