The operation of changing the catheter bag is relatively simple, including closing the switch, disinfecting the treatment, and paying attention to the inspection.
1. Turn off the switch: When changing the catheter bag, the switch on the catheter should be turned off to prevent urine from flowing out when changing the bag and to prevent infection.
2. Disinfection: Use povidone-iodine solution to disinfect the connection between the drainage tube and the urinary catheter, and fix the end of the catheter, pull out the old bag, and then insert the connector of the new bag into the end of the catheter.
3. Pay attention to check: after replacing the catheterization bag, pay attention to observe whether the drainage of urine is smooth and whether there is the phenomenon of urine leakage.
The catheterization bag and catheter should be replaced regularly to avoid infection caused by untimely replacement.
