How far to you insert foley in a male?
When inserting a Foley catheter in a male patient, the catheter is typically advanced until urine begins to flow, which is usually around 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) for most adult males. After urine is observed, the catheter should be advanced an additional 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) to ensure it is properly positioned in the bladder. Always ensure to follow sterile techniques and institutional protocols during the procedure.

Why were nurses taught to clamp Foley Catheters when over 1000cc of urine was being expelled at one time?
You clamp the foley catheter when the patient has voided 500mL-1000mL of urine very quickly because it effects baroreceptors in the bladder and can cause hypotension that may result in dizziness and fainting.
How do you obtain a urine sample from a urostomy with a foley cath?
Clamp the foley (I used to use a rubber band on bend the Foely tubing - collect the urine from the tube using a sterile needle and syringe. Withdraw 30 cc of sterile urine if possible and place in a sterle urine cup.

Can you do a bladder scan with a foley catheter in place?
Yes, a bladder scan can be performed with a Foley catheter in place, but it may not provide accurate results. The presence of the catheter can affect the bladder volume measurement because it may not accurately reflect the amount of urine present in the bladder. To obtain reliable results, it's often recommended to clamp the catheter for a period before the scan, allowing urine to accumulate in the bladder. However, this should be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
What is a Foley catheter's use in medicine?
A Foley catheter is a tube that is put into the bladder. The point of this is to allow urine to come out of the bladder when a patient is unable to go to the toilet themselves.

What is the differerence between a ureter and and urethra?

What can happen to a patient if the foley catheter is clamped off and the urine has backed up into the patient?
It is quite common for a catheter to be clamped off. Unfortunately not as common as it should be. When this is done the urine will be retained in the bladder. This is not a bad thing -> its what the bladder was designed for. The only problem with this is that if the catheter clamp is left on for an excessive amount of time it may cause pain (like a strong urge to go to the toilet) as the urine collects in the bladder or cause retrograde ureteric flow back to the bladder. One of the problems of NOT clamping a catheter is bladder shrinkage which can lead to urine bypassing (coming out down the sides of the catheter tube) by various mechanisms. bladder shrinkage can be a problem when the catheter is removed.
Do the renal tubules empty urine into the renal medulla?
No, the renal tubules do not empty urine directly into the renal medulla. The renal tubules are responsible for reabsorbing water and other important substances from the filtrate, which eventually forms urine that is transported to the renal pelvis before draining into the ureter.
What is Foley’s Catheter and when is it needed?
