How is foley catheter removed?

RelaxRemoving a foley catheter from a man is no different than a woman. Practice standard precautions while performing this. 1. Take a 10-ml syringe and deflate the catheter bulb. After pulling back on the plunger to obtain fluid, leave the syringe attached. Sometimes additional fluid will continue to slowly leak out of the balloon. Do not be concerned if you do not get more than about 5 - 6 mls, the remainder is in the catheter tubing.2. Take a small washcloth and hold it under the penis at the meatus. As you remove the catheter some urine may flow out with it, and you will want to catch this from wetting the patient or bed.3. Inform the patient, "I'm going to pull this out... take a few deep breaths". The removal is not normally painful.4. Pull out quickly and smoothly. If urine was still in the drainage bag measure and empty, then dispose of tubing and bag in the biohazardous trash.Ayraayra: actually if you don't get the full amount of fluid back into the syringe you should be concerned. Chances are it's still in the balloon and if you try to pull the catheter out while the balloon is still partially inflated you could end up doing tissue damage. If you don't get all the fluid out try again.

Why is a patient who is pronounced clinically brain dead given a syringe shot when removed from life support?

People are NOT given a shot with a syringe after being pronounced clinically brain dead. There are several instances I can think of that you could think a nurse was giving an injection to someone who is dead.Let me explain:If a person is on a ventilator, the tube in their mouth/throat is held in place with a balloon that is inflated. The only way to remove the tube is by deflating the balloon. A syringe--without a needle--is inserted into a special valve that allows the balloon to deflate.The same process deflates the balloon that holds a urinary catheter in the bladder; the nurse draws back on the syringe to remove the normal saline in the balloon.IVs in arms would just be removed without flushing the site with Normal Saline (NS).Even when your loved one is pronounced dead, the family can still ask a nurse to explain what she is doing, whether it is removing a trach, an IV, or catheter. ASK.
