What procedure inserts the catheter into the urinary tract through the bladder and into the urine?
Urinary catheterization is the insertion of a catheter into a patient's bladder. The catheter is used as a conduit to drain urine from the bladder into an attached bag or container.
Why is urine taken from catheter tube not the collection bag?
Urine is the catheter tube is "fresher" than urine sitting in the collection bag, often sitting for many hours.
How do you collect fresh fractional urine specimen?
There should be a port at the end of the catheter where the tubing attaches to the catheter bag. Wipe with alcohol and, with a needle and syringe, insert the needle into the port and withdraw 10cc-20cc or so. Without a needle, you can take it from the bag itself, but the sample won't be as pure. You can also disconnect the catheter from the tubing and extract a sample, but this increases infection risk. If so, get a sterile container, wipe the entire area where the catheter meets the tubing with alcohol, put the catheter into the container, and hopefully you'll get about 5cc-10cc. When you reconnect, be very careful not to touch the inside of the catheter. This line runs straight into the person's bladder, and thus is a risk for bladder infection.
