Without the valve in it? A lot of companies don’t have it. But we used to use the bd autoguard.

In this video, what is the name of the catheter and the manufacturer? We only have one with an additional upper port in the hospital.

ok, got it. Thank you very much for your help

and there are likely products or replacement bags that have shorter tubing. Leg bags for instance are only a couple feet of tubing with a small pouch that attaches to the calf. This, however, is the tubing that is stock on the kits used at Trinity Health Livonia hospital, and that is common in most hospital supplied foley catheter kits. The length can be necessary in hospital situations where patients are at tests, getting scans, or procedures are being done and the bag has to be out of the way, but removing the foley would ideally be avoided. Everything has it's pros and cons.

@@nursingeducation3952 all good points but you can’t really sleep with a leg bag and to your point about options for shorter tubing for night bags( for the average home user) there are unfortunately no other lengths that I have seen which leads me to believe if dependent loops are a risk in a hospital setting they are for sure standard practice in the home. I have asked the question on catheter support groups and clearly people just leave all the loops and just make sure the bag is below bladder….even you tube nursing homecare information videos( other than this one) show how to use a night bag at home and there is little effort to avoid loops to the degree it’s laughable. I personally have never been given any instruction guidance around dependent loops at home from any health professional except keep the bag below your bladder and off the floor and my research from talking to most cath users is that is there experience as well. Also if you know of a company that has different lengths of tubing standard for night bags let me know andI will share it with groups that have this concern.

I'm not saying avoid use of the needles. I'm pointing out the importance of proper use of them to avoid ACCIDENTAL pokes. Using a needle to draw a patient's blood requires a needle, but if you don't safely use the needle, you may accidentally stick yourself with it after it was used. If that patient had bacteria or a virus in their blood. That could now be in your blood. Now you have HIV because you weren't appropriately careful with the needles. Always understand your products and be diligent in their safe usage.

@@sheyi1751 thanks for appreciating it.

Glad it was helpful!

I can't speak to that with confidence. that would be likely patient and physician specific. clarify with your physician what is and is not appropriate for movement of that patient.

Uv vein tracer or ultrasound will be last efforts or a PICC line or central/ midline will be placed by specialists.

@lyydiaw is right. At my facility we have the infrared "Vein finder" that helps illuminate surface veins so you can see them to poke. Sometimes they help, and other times they don't show anything particularly usable. But we also have an IV access team that utilizes an ultrasound for placement. With the use of an ultrasound you can practically ALWAYS find a vein. I'm an ultrasound trained RN and once I became proficient with the equipment, there was never a patient I couldn't get access on. Sometime we do use other products than the standard peripheral IV. There are extended length catheters, Midlines, PICC lines and Central Lines that we are also certified to place at bedside when appropriate. No patient ever needs to go without access if you have the right training and equipment.

there are always more in the works. thanks for watching. I'm glad you found them helpful

how'd it go?

You got this!! I'm waiting on credential processing! Congratulations to your career 😊

@@donnahayes7375 absolutely

how'd it go?

@@nursingeducation3952 She said I did really well. Thank you. As a matter of fact, it was one of my better checkoffs. I wish I had of watched your videos (if you have one) on Foley insertion and HTT assessments. I didn't do as well on those. I would have done better had I seen your videos on those.

Glad I could help!

@@mfw1936 thank you

You're saying don't allow the tubes to be inverted prior to collection, or while you are actively drawing? I've honestly never really considered that, but it makes sense. In a lot of areas our tube storage is just tubes tossed into a bin landing whichever direction they fall, and I don't pay much attention to the direction the tube is oriented when I'm drawing. I'm mostly paying attention to the needle in the arm. Order of draw is your friend with those risks I suppose, but I may need to do some updating to this. Thanks.

@@alinakirven5256 thanks so much. I hope they help you and your classmates!

Thank you so much. I appreciate that.

Absolutely. Thanks for asking permission. Good luck on your presentation.

Yes. The cephalic is the big guy running up the front of the bicep
