10.1 Continuous Bladder Irrigation
Continuous Bladder Irrigation (CBI) is the continuous flushing and draining of the bladder designed to prevent the formation and retention of blood clots following transurethral resection of the prostate or where blood clot retention of the bladder occurs
To instil continuous bladder irrigation via a three-way IDC for the purpose of:
Providing bladder washout to remove any residual urine and/or bladder sediment to ensure IDC patency
Removing blood clots that may develop post bladder, kidney or prostate surgery
Ensuring debris removal from an infected or diseased bladder
Introducing medicated irrigation to soothe an irritated bladder so as to promote healing, and/ or to treat disease
A medical officer must prescribe continuous bladder irrigation (CBI) and a silicone three way-indwelling catheter (22F or 24F) must be inserted prior to the commencement of continuous bladder irrigation (CBI)
Equipment:
Dressing Trolley
Sterile dish x two
Plain stickers to label consecutive irrigation bags
Foleys Statlock Device-Not for Dr Chan’s patients
Jugs x two
50ml Bladder Syringes x two
Y-type CBI tubing (closed system where available)
Three-way indwelling catheter
Gloves: two pairs x sterile, one box clean gloves
500ml bottle of 0.9% Sodium Chloride (at room temperature)
2000mls 0.9% Sodium Chloride irrigation fluid bags x four or five bags (at room temperature)
Procedure under pads (small and large) e.g. Smart Barrier Touch Dry absorbent pad
Safety goggles or shield and gown
Portable, adjustable IV pole
Cytotoxic Spill Kit where EPIRUBICIN or where patient is receiving Cytotoxic treatment
Cytotoxic Bin where Cytotoxic precautions are required
Procedure:
Check patients clinical record for any medical orders
Maintain privacy and explain the procedure to the patient
Place patient supine and ensure comfort and dignity
Where Chemotherapy precautions are actioned, don non-permeable gown, and gloves. Please refer to Chemotherapy Care of the Adult Patient eviQ Clinical Procedure
Don safety goggles or eye shield and gown
Place procedure under pad beneath patient
Place small procedure under pad across patients thighs to prevent fluid leaks whilst connecting the irrigation fluid
Commence irrigation and maintain a steady flow rate
Alert: Ensure that the irrigation is not running to fast or too slow. The irrigation rate is dependent on the urine colour/ opacity. Refer to medical orders for any contraindications
Hang irrigating fluid bags on portable IV pole, 60cms above the level of the bladder
Label and number each bag when commencing
Maintain strict Bladder Irrigation Chart and Urine Output records.
Prior to commencing next irrigation fluid bag, completely empty the current IV irrigation fluid bag into the urinary drainage bag so as to calculate and record the urine output. Empty the urinary drainage bag. Subtract two litre irrigation fluids from amount of fluid in the urinary drainage bag to calculate urine output
Do not rest urinary drainage bag on the floor at any time
Record the number of irrigation bags used and urine output on the bladder irrigation chart and urine output on fluid balance chart at each bag change
Ensure that the patient’s fluid input and urine output is measured and documented accurately
Adjust the Patient Accountability and Care Plan to indicate Bladder Irrigation
Monitor the patient with fourth hourly general observations by nursing staff whilst the indwelling catheter is insitu for signs of sepsis
Regular and frequent Perineal toilets must attended whilst indwelling catheter is in situ- the frequency of which will be documented in the Patient Accountability and Care Plan
In the event of a genitourinary tract infection, infection control will collate and present data for reporting purposes
Alert: All patients with an Indwelling Catheter insitu are required to have a CHHS Insertion of Urinary Catheter in their clinical records (See Attachment B). If the input and output balance is negative notify the CNC/TL and medical officer to review the patient immediately
Epirubicin Alert: Clinical Handovers must reflect that Chemotherapy has been administered and cytotoxic precautions will subsequently be required for seven days post administration. Where Chemotherapy precautions are actioned, dispose of urinary catheter bags with urinary output directly into the Cytotoxic bin.
10.2 Manual Bladder Irrigation
To instil manual bladder irrigation via a three-way IDC for the purpose of:
Removing blood clots or blockage that may develop to maintain patency of an IDC
Equipment:
Dressing Trolley
Sterile dish x two
Jugs x two
50ml Bladder Syringes x two
Gloves: two pairs of sterile, one box clean gloves
500ml bottle of 0.9% Sodium Chloride (at room temperature)
Procedure under pads (small and large) e.g. Kylie
Where Chemotherapy precautions are actioned, don appropriate PPE
Safety glasses, goggles or shield
General waste receptacle
Clinical waste receptacle
Procedure:
Maintain privacy and explain the procedure to the patient
Provide adequate and appropriate analgesia
Place patient supine and ensure comfort
Where Chemotherapy precautions are actioned, don appropriate PPE
Don personal protective equipment (PPE) includes safety goggles or shield and gown
Place procedure under pad beneath patient
Place small procedure under pad across patients thighs to prevent fluid leaks whilst connecting the irrigation fluid
Prepare Sterile dish with approx 200mls 0.9% Sodium Chloride or open 500ml bottle of 0.9% Sodium Chloride
Have jug ready at the IDC site
Open syringe
Turn off irrigation
Disconnect tubing from Statlock device if present
Attend hand hygiene by either washing or using ABHR and don sterile gloves
Using aseptic technique, detach the drainage bag from the IDC and attach syringe filled with 0.9% Sodium Chloride and flush into bladder
Apply suction to the IDC to clear clots from the IDC
Disconnect syringe and fill with a further 40mls of 0.9% Sodium Chloride, reconnect to IDC and flush bladder
Continue this procedure until return is clear and free of clots and/ or debris
Where closed system is in use, do not disconnect indwelling catheter to manually irrigate
Clamp the tubing below the bulb
Firmly squeeze the bulb to commence manual irrigation
Repeat process until clear urine is flowing at a steady rate
If no urine return after manually irrigating IDC, contact medical officer
Repeat the above steps until urine is flowing at a steady rate
Reconnect the IDC to the drainage bag and reset the irrigation fluid
Secure tubing with appropriately placed Statlock device (Attachment A) to prevent movement and urethral traction unless contraindicated (as per Dr Chan’s orders)
Attend Perineal toilet-The patient will have regular and frequent Perineal toilets attended whilst indwelling catheter is in situ, the frequency of which will be documented in the Nursing Care Plan
Discard equipment
Where Chemotherapy precautions are actioned, dispose of urinary output directly into the Cytotoxic bin
Leave the patient comfortable with call bell within reach
Document in patients clinical record:
The patient's response to the procedure
The urine output on the Bladder Irrigation Chart & fluid balance chart
The amount, size and frequency of irrigated clot
The patient's indwelling catheter is patent with no complication during and following irrigation
The urinary drainage system is maintained as a sterile drainage system
The patient's indwelling catheter is irrigated as prescribed by the medical officer according to the patient's clinical management needs with minimal discomfort and no complications
Intake and output are balanced
The patient is to be monitored with fourth hourly general observations by nursing staff whilst the indwelling catheter is insitu for signs of sepsis
The patient is to be monitored for signs of suprapubic distension or discomfort indicating fluid retention
The patient’s fluid input and urine output is measured and documented accurately
Adjust the Patient Accountability and Care Plan to indicate Bladder Irrigation
In the event of a genitourinary tract infection, infection control will collate and present data for reporting purposes
