How to insert a female catheter

Indwelling catheter is commonly used in clinical practice. For patients with dysuria, urine can be drained through indwelling catheter. The process of indwelling catheter: the patient should first position himself, fully disinfect the perineum, open the catheter bag after disinfection, lubricate the front end of the catheter with paraffin oil, clamp the front end of the catheter with tweezers, slowly insert it into the bladder along the female urethra, insert about 6cm, and urine can be seen. A sterile syringe can be used to extract a certain amount of saline, the balloon of the catheter is inflated, and a little traction can fix the catheter in the bladder. The distal end of the catheter is connected to the drainage bag, so that urine in the bladder can be drained into the drainage bag. Patients with indwelling catheter should be regularly cared for, and the catheter should be replaced regularly, which can reduce the occurrence of urinary tract infection.
