Steps for Using a Emergency Urine Bag
Inspection and Preparation
Verify the integrity and sterility of the urine bag packaging. Wash hands thoroughly before handling.
Connection to Catheter
Securely connect the inlet tube of the urine bag to the patient's catheter or drainage tube, ensuring a tight, leak-proof connection.
Proper Positioning
Fix the urine bag below bladder level using leg straps or bedside hooks to facilitate gravity drainage and prevent backflow.
Monitoring and Emptying
Regularly monitor urine output using the graduated markings. When the bag is near full capacity, open the drainage valve to empty urine hygienically.
Replacement and Disposal
Replace the urine bag as recommended or when damaged. Dispose of used bags according to medical waste protocols.
