Question

When caring for a client with continuous bladder irrigation, the nurse should what?

Answer 1

Continuous bladder irrigation (CBI) is typically used following surgery, to insure that the patient’s bladder remains clear of all sediment and potential blood clots. While it is not overly complicated to set up, it is also not quite as simple as a standard catheter setup. On top of that, there are complications that can arise in even the best of circumstances

CBI typically uses a 3-way Foley catheter in order to:

•Drain urine

•Inflate catheter balloon

•Provide irrigation solution

Depending on many things concerning the patient’s situation, the catheter may need to be drained and irrigated every 20 minutes to every several hours.
