Dextrose is not recommended for bladder irrigation because it can promote bacterial growth in the urine, leading to infection. Instead, sterile solutions like saline or water are typically used for bladder irrigation to reduce the risk of introducing bacteria into the urinary system.

What is the purpose of bladder irrigation?

Bladder irrigation is a medical procedure used to flush out the bladder and urinary tract, often to remove blood clots, debris, or infection. It helps maintain bladder patency and prevent urinary obstruction. This procedure can also enhance the effectiveness of medications delivered directly into the bladder for treating conditions like bladder cancer or interstitial cystitis. Overall, bladder irrigation promotes urinary tract health and facilitates recovery from certain urological conditions.


Definition fever in colostomy and CBI is continuous bladder irrigation?

Fever in the context of a colostomy may indicate an infection or complications related to the stoma site or surrounding tissues. Continuous Bladder Irrigation (CBI) is a medical procedure used to flush the bladder with a sterile solution to prevent or treat blood clots and ensure clear urine output. Both conditions require careful monitoring and assessment to identify potential underlying issues and provide appropriate intervention. Prompt medical attention is essential if fever or other concerning symptoms arise in these situations.


Intermittent bladder irrigation?

if the question is dealing with exccessive urination it could be caused by an enlarged prostate it could also be the bodies way of releiving itself of exxess fluid possibly from high blood pressure the body gets rid of waste products through the urinary system such as excess sodium,potassium and other by products the body can't use 2/18/2008 Continuous bladder irrigation is also used following a medical procedure to the urinary system. I have seen it used most frequently with prostatectomies. The prostate is extremely vascular and bleeds excessively following removal or reduction. A special foley catheter is inserted into the urethra with a Y type adapter to allow fluids to go both in and out. Large bags of normal saline are used to continually flush the bladder. It is very common for the normal saline to come back out as bright red blood at first. Eventually, the normal saline will run clear and the irrigation can be discontinued soon after. I have not seen many complications but as with any procedure there is a risk of infection. A rupture would also be possible if the output port was clogged and fluid continued to run in. Electrolyte imbalances would be possible as well. This is an impatient procedure so just being in the hospital has its own set of risks.

What is the medical term meaning triple lumen catheter used in post trans urethral resection of the prostate?

It is a special catheter used in Urology. As the name suggests it has three lumens, one used to inflate the ballon to keep the catheter in place, the second lumen is used to flush and irrigate the bladder with fluids to prevent clotting and blockage of the catheter after surgery, and the third lumen is for draining the urine from the bladder. The term used is Bladder irrigation.


What is Drip irrigation in the Murray river?

Drip irrigation is a type of irrigation used in the Murray River. Drip irrigation is a continuous tube with evenly spaced emitters that 'drip' water. Drip irrigation is used on the surface, often hung from trellis, or below the surface. Drip irrigation, especially subsurface, is a water efficient approach to irrigation and so is favoured along the Murray River as the area is in extreme drought. There is a new type of extremely water efficient irrigation that is starting to be used throughout the Murray river area, because it uses far less water than any other irrigation system. The KISSS Subsurface Textile Irrigation system is increasingly used in sports fields, crops and backyards due to it's water efficiency.
