Catheter Care at Home in Dubai Service:
The process of changing, or replacing a catheter is a bit complex, so you should not try to do it on your own. Always ask an expert in the field to assist you with it. In an at-home service, our professional nurse comes to your home, and helps the patients insert the catheter:
Preparing and Explaining:
The first and foremost step is to mentally prepare the patient for the process. Our healthcare provider will initially explain the entire process to the patients. The patient will then lie down on their back in a comfortable position.
Cleaning and Sterilization:
Before starting the insertion process our nurse will make sure that they follow hygienic measures, and they will clean their hand and wear gloves. The nurse will sterilize and clean the patient’s genital area to prevent, and reduce any infection. For female patients cleaning the labia and for male patients cleaning the urethral opening of the penis is essential.
Lubrication And Insertion:
Before inserting the tube the nurse will first lubricate the area to make the insertion easy and painless. If the patient is female then the tube is placed in the urethral meatus, and if the patient is male then the tube placement takes place in the urethral opening of the penis. The doctor will continue to push it until it has settled into place.
Connect It to the Bag:
This catheter will then flow the urine from the tube to the drainage bag. Make sure to attach a drainage bag to the leg of the patient. The nurse holds the bag in a single place on the leg of the patient with the help of a tape, this tape is known as cath-secure.
