What Are the Best Practices for Securing Urinary Catheters?
Securing urinary catheters effectively involves:
- Using Securement Devices: Such as Velcro straps or adhesive devices designed for urinary catheters. - Positioning: The catheter should be positioned to avoid tension and minimize movement. - Regular Monitoring: Check the securement device regularly to ensure it remains intact and the catheter is not causing discomfort or trauma.
