How is Irrigation done?

• Wash and scrub your hands, fingernails, and fingertips thoroughly.
• Unpack the sterile components on a dry and flat surface.
• Put the drape under the connection between the urinary catheter tube and the drainage bag.
• Pour room-temperature normal saline into the container.
• Draw 60 ccs of saline into the syringe. (The amount of saline differs from person to person.)
• Cleanse the connect site with an alcohol swab.
• Disconnect the catheter from the drainage bag.
• Insert the tip of the syringe into the catheter tube and gently inject the saline into the catheter.
• Gently withdraw the fluid from the catheter with the syringe. If the saline contains a large amount of mucous and blood clots, repeat the procedure until most of the mucous has been removed.
• Detach the syringe from the catheter and let the fluid drain out into the basin.
• Reattach the catheter tube to the drainage bag.
• Wash your hands and equipment.
