Where is cystoclysis indicated?
Cystoclysis is performed within the bladder. This is basically a process of irrigating the bladder with normal saline to prevent clot formation.
Is cystoclysis included in intake and output monitoring?
Cystoclysis, which involves the infusion of fluid into the bladder, is typically monitored as part of intake and output (I&O) assessments. The fluid instilled during cystoclysis is counted as intake, while the urine output is recorded as part of the output. Therefore, it is essential to include cystoclysis in I&O monitoring to ensure proper fluid balance and assess kidney function.

What is cystoclysis?
Cystoclysis is a continuous movement of the bladder with solution prescribed by the surgeon. Cystoclysis' purpose is to wash the bladder out and help in the process of removing blood clots after prostatic surgery.
How do you compute for Actual urine output in patients with cystoclysis?
To compute for actual urine output in patients with cystoclysis, you need to measure the total volume of urine drained from the bladder through the cystoclysis catheter over a specific period. Then, subtract the volume of any irrigation fluid used during the procedure from this total urine volume. The resulting value is the actual urine output, reflecting the patient’s renal function without the influence of irrigation fluid. It's important to ensure accurate recording of both irrigation fluid and urine output to maintain precise calculations.
