If the urine bag is damaged, it is necessary to replace the catheter in time. Moreover, it is necessary to observe the color in the urine bag and whether the urine in the urine bag is turbid. If the color is abnormal, it is considered that there may be urinary infection. If there is a urinary tract infection, antibiotics should be used. The urine bag should not be positioned higher than the catheter, because if the urine bag is too high, it may cause urine reflux. Also, pay attention to whether there is leakage at the urethral orifice of the catheter. If there is leakage, consider that the catheter may be blocked and need to be replaced.
