The correct method to decrease the incidence of air embolism associated with removal of a central line is to follow ALL standard procedures with removal of the line. Patients should be placed in a supine position, or even T-burg position. The occlusive dressing should be loosened and the suture removed. The patient should be asked to hold their breath when the line is removed quickly. Occlusive dressing is held over the line as it is being removed and thus applied to the insertion site as the line is removed.

What happens if you pull your Foley Catheter out?
It depends. If the balloon inside is deflated, then there shouldn't be a problem removing the catheter. Also, if you there aren't any physiological problems, such as tumor or inflammation, then you can easily pull it out once the balloon has been deflated. However, if you pull the Foley Catheter out while the balloon inside is still inflated, there will be shearing or tearing of the skin layer. Not only does it feel very painful, but you can get an infection or even permanently damage your bladder and urethra just by removing it improperly. Never remove your own catheter unless you have been trained by your health care provider. If you cannot remove the catheter with only slight pulling, if you cannot urinate within 8 hours after the removal, or if your abdomen becomes distended and painful notify your health care provider immediately.
