Foley Pain?

Norm · 12-15-2007, 03:52 PM

I changed my foley today & ive been sweating like crazy. There was blood in my urine. my nurse didn't put foley in far enough because of sphcinter resistence, then backed out then put it back in then when she saw urine blew up balloon. Anyway to get ride of the dysreflexia & sweating. Tylanol & Exceren are not doing a thing. I don't want to go to the hospital & have them pull the foley.

Can you see urine flowing? If you do then everything shoud be ok. I often get AD after a changing to; sometimes it lasts most of the day.

Its flowing but i'm non stop sweating. Since this morning. i know if i change it it will bleed. But it usally corrects the problem after a few hours. i need the right pain killer after 25 years i still have no answer for this type of pain.

Have you checked your blood pressure? Is it high or is it the sweating only that has continued?

I just got out of the hosp. Immflamation was cause by inserting the first time then again while at hosp. Then i got a uti somehow.

its not a suprapublic.

Whoever the nurse is that did the initial change needs retraining on proper urethral male catheterization. Please call their supervisor and insist that this be done.

Always insist that an indwelling urethral catheter be inserted all the way to the Y before the balloon is inflated. This is the recognized proper technique. They also need to be taught how to manage sphincter spasm during catheter insertion in a patient with SCI.

She didn't inflate the balloon Until the second try. She had changed my foly with no problem 8 time prevously. I had an RN blow up the balloon when it wasn't in all the way. The seem to think once you see urine eveything is a okay. It there a way for me to teach them? An online help guide.

I don't know a good on-line resource that is available to you (we subscribe to some where I work, but you don't have access), but any good nursing procedures textbook (available at any nursing school) should contain evidence-based procedures for doing this properly. Insertion all the way to the Y (regardless of when you get urine) is considered the standard.
