Precautions for disposable catheter for thermometry

1.Choose the right catheter

Disposable catheters for temperature measurement have different sizes and materials, and it is very important for medical staff to choose the right catheter in advance. Generally speaking, doctors will choose the right size and material of the catheter according to the patient's condition and needs. If the size of the catheter for temperature measurement is not chosen properly, it will lead to poor urine drainage, which will easily lead to urine retention and infection.

2.Hand washing and disinfection

Before operating the catheter, medical staff need to wash their hands fully and take disinfection measures to avoid bacterial infection. There are various methods to sterilise the catheter, the commonly used ones include wetting and drying, wetting method is to soak the catheter with sterile saline or chlorhexidine solution, while drying method is to wipe the catheter clean with sterile gloves.

3.Choose the appropriate catheterisation position

There are two common placement positions for thermometry catheters, one is placed via the urethra and the other is placed via bladder puncture. For different situations and needs, the doctor will choose the appropriate placement position. When placing a catheter via the urethra, the doctor needs to make sure that the catheter enters in the right direction to avoid damage to the urethra or bladder. When placing a catheter via bladder puncture, the doctor needs to closely observe and control the puncture process to avoid misplacement and bleeding.

To sum up, it is about the use of disposable special catheter for temperature measurement and precautions in detail. The use of a special catheter for temperature measurement can significantly reduce the discomfort caused by temperature measurement and provide better patient care. However, compared with ordinary catheters, it is more demanding for nursing staff to use, so it is very necessary to know in advance the use of disposable special catheters for temperature measurement and precautions. ‍
