1. What is the use of this object?

Drainage of urine from bladder.
Fluid management of patient.
Measure urine output.
2. What is x for?
Passage of distil water through x & inflate the balloon located at the end of the tube in order
to keep the catheter inside the bladder. So we call it self retaining catheter.(silastic
catheter change every 3 months.)
3. What are the indications?
Gastrostomy Pt, loss of ANS functions, in cardiac failure.
4. Disadvantages: Connect the external and internal environment. Therefore infection can be spread to
exterior to interior.
Have to change daily

For nasogastric feeding.
To aspiration gastric secretions or
contents before emergency
surgeries & in bowel obstruction.
Gastric empty because emergency
surgery( Road traffic accident)

2. Why is the end of the tube blunt?

o To make the tube easy to pass
through airway.
o To prevent mucous entering the
tube & blocking the way use
of two opening in suction tube.

o There are metal boalls in the end to ensure the tube in correct place by using Xray
o By applying air we have to auscultate the bubbling sound to ensure the possition

70 kg man had an operation to remove a part of his mandible due to cancer. How do you
maintain fluid and electrolyte balance for the second day after surgery?
Fluid and electrolyte balance and fluid replacement
For 1st 10kg=100ml/kg
So 1st 10kg require 100X10=1000ml
For 2nd 10kg =50ml/kg
So 10-20 kg require 50X10=500ml
Rest of the body weight require 20ml/kg
For 50kg 20X50=1000ml
Total fluid requirement =25000ml
Electrolyte balance
Na+ 1-2mmol/kg/g
70kg = 1-2X 70 = 70mmol/d
0.9%NaCl 500ml contains
70mmol of NaCl
So 5000ml of 0.9%NaCl is enough to replace Na+ requirement
Remain fluid requirement is replaced by 5% dextrose 2000ml
KCl 80-100need
KCl comes as vials which contain 20mmol of KCl given for 500ml
Total vial requirement = 4 vial for 2000ml dextrose
Pt at ICU does not give K because due to tissue destruction it can be released to out

What is and what are the use of this?

Monnitol is a diuretic
Used to replace depleted volume specially a head injury pt where there is increased
intra cranial pressure- to keep the fluid in the intravascular compartment
After a crush injury there is extensive muscle damage and release of myoglobins from
tissues. they can block the renal tubules. Monnitol push the myoglobin and relieves
obstruction.

To measure glomerular filtration rate.

Colloids ( Monnitol)
o Expensive
o Elicit allergic reaction
o Interferes with blood
o Get blood and match before infusion
o Fever amount needed
