Q

How insert suprapubic catheter? (11)

A

1 local anaesthetic ( 10 ml of 1 % lignocaine) 1-2 cm above symphysis pubis in midline after cleaning and ensuring sterility
2. When needle give way in bladder, aspirate until urine obtained.
3. Pull back syringe and needle as unit and measure how deep needle was in abdo to guide depth of trocar.
4 make 1cm incision with disposable scalpel deep enough to incise rectus sheath
5. Insert trocar and sheath ( introducer): will feel “giving way “ when passing through rectus. sheath first, then again through bladder wall - will see stream of urine
6. Push in 5mm more to make space for balloon inflation in case of bladder wall thickness
7. Remove trocar and place thumb over sheath to prevent mess.
8. Insert Foley catheter already attached to urine bag
9. inflate balloon with 5 -7 ml
10. Remove sheath then peel and pull tab to remove sheath away from catheter
11. Secure with nylon skin suture and plaster

Never cover penis with sheets! If pt void, stop procedure.
