[quote=Anonymous]If you have the catheter Inserted non emergently, you will be able to have them do it with better sterile technique: when we are in a hurry, sterile is a lot harder. Make sure two RNs put the cath in, one to hold things open so your urethra is visible and the other to insert using sterile technique. If they miss, you or someone with you should request a clean foley and new sterile gloves. It's been almost a year since we have had a catheter related infection using this technique. The RNs need to clean your peri area with soap and a washcloth at least twice a day: bath wipes or a squirt bottle don't count. Also, if you have stitches, peri bottles are single use items. Make sure the foley is secured to your leg so it doesn't pull on the opening to your bladder. [/quote]
