Equipment
Intermittent Irrigation Through a Three-Way Catheter
■ Bag of sterile irrigation solution.
■ Connecting tubing (to connect the bag to the irrigation port).
■ IV pole.
■ Antiseptic swabs.
■ Bath blanket.
Intermittent Irrigation via the Specimen Port Using a Syringe
■ Sterile container.
■ Sterile 60-mL syringe with large-gauge needleless access device.
■ 2 pairs of clean procedure gloves.
Assessment
■ Assess:
■ Characteristics of the urine (e.g., amount, color, odor, presence of clots or mucus).
■ Presence and degree of bladder distention.
■ Discomfort.
■ Cognitive status (to know whether the patient can follow directions and not disrupt the sterile field during the procedure).
■ Determine the amount and type of sterile solution to use.
■ Determine how long the irrigant is to remain in the bladder.
Post-Procedure Reassessment
■ Note:
■ Flow rate of irrigant and/or inability to instill irrigant into the catheter.
■ Characteristics of urine (e.g., presence of output, color, amount, clots, mucus).
■ Patient discomfort (e.g., pain, spasms).
■ Bladder distention accompanied by lack of urine outflow.
Key Points
■ Establish a sterile field under the specimen removal port or the irrigation port on a three-way catheter.
■ Be Safe! Because of the risk of infection, never disconnect the drainage tubing from the catheter.
■ Use a sterile irrigation solution, warmed to room temperature.
■ For intermittent irrigation using a three-way catheter, instill the irrigation solution slowly by gravity drain. The higher you hang the bag, the faster it will infuse in through the catheter.
■ Repeat the process as necessary.
Documentation
■ Chart:
■ Date and time of procedure, type of irrigant, and total volume infused.
■ Characteristics of the urine (e.g., color, odor, clarity, sediment, presence of clots or mucus).
■ Evidence of catheter patency (e.g., flow of urine, absence of distention).

HOW I GOT HEAL FROM HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS BY DR ISHIAKU HERBS
The greatest Joy in my life today is that i have been cured of Herpes by a Doctor called Dr. Ishiaku, I was infected with HERPES Disease in 2019, i went to many hospitals for cure but there was no solution, so I was thinking how can I get a solution,so that my body can be okay. Until one faithful day as I was browsing on the internet I saw a testimony on how Dr. ishiaku has helped people in curing Herpes and other diseases, quickly copied his WhatsApp number so I contacted him for a solution for my Herpes disease, So Dr. Ishiaku told me that his going to prepare his herbal medicine for my health which he sent to me, luckily after 2week my Herpes was cured. Dr Ishiaku is well recognized as one of the best herbalist doctor in Africa, you don't have to be sad anymore or cry anymore on this disease when the cure is available.
