When you access a port catheter do you use is sterile technique or aseptic?
The terms sterile and aseptic mean the same thing. And you are supposed to use a sterile/aseptic technique. From what I have read, many visiting nurses do not do that if they are from the doctors' office. But they do it in the hospital. It is always best to do this using a technique that will not infect the patient.

How do you discontinue a Foley catheter without a syringe?
As a last resort, you may cut the catheter just above the inflation port. The water in the balloon will escape from the cut end. Gently pull on the catheter. It should slide out easily.
What is intrathecal chemotherapy?
Chemotherapy given by catheter or port into the spinal fluid is called intrathecal (IT) administration.
How do you collect fresh fractional urine specimen?
There should be a port at the end of the catheter where the tubing attaches to the catheter bag. Wipe with alcohol and, with a needle and syringe, insert the needle into the port and withdraw 10cc-20cc or so. Without a needle, you can take it from the bag itself, but the sample won't be as pure. You can also disconnect the catheter from the tubing and extract a sample, but this increases infection risk. If so, get a sterile container, wipe the entire area where the catheter meets the tubing with alcohol, put the catheter into the container, and hopefully you'll get about 5cc-10cc. When you reconnect, be very careful not to touch the inside of the catheter. This line runs straight into the person's bladder, and thus is a risk for bladder infection.
What if the porta cath not flushed regularly?
If a port catheter is not flushed regularly, it can lead to clot formation or blockage, which can prevent proper medication administration or blood withdrawal. Neglecting regular flushing may increase the risk of infection or malfunction of the port, jeopardizing the patient's treatment and health. Regular maintenance of the port catheter as per medical guidelines is essential to ensure its proper function and longevity.

How do you remove a foley catheter?
A catheter is a tube inserted into the urethra to collect urine from a person's bladder. To insert a Foley catheter, have the patient lie down and, using clean hands inside sterile gloves, apply lubricant to the catheter and insert it into the patient's urethra. Be sure to push the catheter in until urine can be seen within the tube. Connect the tube to a urine collection bag, and then the procedure is complete.
How is foley catheter removed?
RelaxRemoving a foley catheter from a man is no different than a woman. Practice standard precautions while performing this. 1. Take a 10-ml syringe and deflate the catheter bulb. After pulling back on the plunger to obtain fluid, leave the syringe attached. Sometimes additional fluid will continue to slowly leak out of the balloon. Do not be concerned if you do not get more than about 5 - 6 mls, the remainder is in the catheter tubing.2. Take a small washcloth and hold it under the penis at the meatus. As you remove the catheter some urine may flow out with it, and you will want to catch this from wetting the patient or bed.3. Inform the patient, "I'm going to pull this out... take a few deep breaths". The removal is not normally painful.4. Pull out quickly and smoothly. If urine was still in the drainage bag measure and empty, then dispose of tubing and bag in the biohazardous trash.Ayraayra: actually if you don't get the full amount of fluid back into the syringe you should be concerned. Chances are it's still in the balloon and if you try to pull the catheter out while the balloon is still partially inflated you could end up doing tissue damage. If you don't get all the fluid out try again.
What is a non coring needle and what does it do?
Non-coring needles are used to puncture through silicone or rubber while not removing any of the material in the process. For example if a regular needle was used to access a port it would damage the port septum (think pushing a straw through a potato) and cause the port to leak. A catheter connects the port to a vein. The septum is made of a special self-sealing silicone rubber; it can be punctured hundreds of times before it weakens significantly. It is used to administer treatment or to withdraw blood. See link:
