foley catheter removal
by resty, May 19, 2009 01:43PM
Our facility policy for removal of a foley catheter (long-term use) is to do a 3 day Bladder Retraining, with a clamping/emptying schedule q 2h during the day, leaving the foley unclamped at night. Is this still common practice, or it is best to just pull the foley and take it from there? If no longer common practice, can you explain why? Thank you so much, resty

I use the same practice for my patients also as it helps in getting the control on the bladder functioning back. I’ll still continue doing the same practice.
I sincerely believe that helps. Please do keep me posted. Warm Regards.
