Damage to the spinal cord above the sacral region causes reflex incontinence. This condition causes loss of voluntary control of urination; but the micturition reflex pathway often remains intact, allowing urination to occur without sensation of the need to void
Overflow incontinence occurs when a bladder is overly full and bladder pressure exceeds sphincter pressure, resulting in involuntary leakage of urine. Causes often include head injury; spinal injury; multiple sclerosis; diabetes; trauma to the urinary system; and postanesthesia sedatives/hypnotics, tricyclics, and analgesia
Hyperreflexia, a life-threatening problem affecting heart rate and blood pressure, is caused by an overly full bladder. It is usually neurogenic in nature; however, it can be caused functionally by blockage
Diseases that cause irreversible damage to kidney tissue result in end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
uremic syndrome- An increase in nitrogenous wastes in the blood, marked fluid and electrolyte abnormalities, nausea, vomiting, headache, coma, and convulsions characterize this syndrome. As the uremic symptoms worsen, aggressive treatment is indicated for survival
Nocturia - awakening to void one or more times at night
An excessive output of urine is polyuria.
. A urine output that is decreased despite normal intake is called oliguria.
increased urine formation (diuresis)
a stoma (artificial opening)
Urinary Retention. Urinary retention is an accumulation of urine resulting from an inability of the bladder to empty properly.
URINE OVERFLOW- The sphincter temporarily opens to allow a small volume of urine (25 to 60 mL) to escape. With retention a patient may void small amounts of urine 2 or 3 times an hour with no real relief of discomfort or may continually dribble urine.
pain or burning during urination (dysuria) as urine flows over inflamed tissues
blood-tinged urine (hematuria)
Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine that is sufficient to be a problem. It can be either temporary or permanent, continuous or intermittentUrinary elimination depends on the function of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Kidneys remove wastes from the blood to form urine. Ureters transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder. The bladder holds urine until the urge to urinate develops. Urine leaves the body through the urethra. All organs of the urinary system must be intact and functional for successful removal of urinary wastes. Intact efferent and afferent nerves from the bladder to the spinal cord and brain must be present
INTAKE AND OUTPUT OF URINE
Assess the patient’s average daily fluid intake.
at home, ask him or her to estimate his or her intake by showing a measurement on a commonly used glass or cup
Special receptacles (urimeters) that attach between indwelling catheters and drainage bags are a convenient means of accurately measuring urine volume. A urimeter holds 100 to 200 mL of urine. After measuring urine from a urimeter, drain the cylinder

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

ASSISTING WITH THE USE OF URINAL BY ANUSHRI SRIVASTAVA.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Male patients confined to bed usually prefer to use the urinal for voiding.
The use of a urinal in the standing position facilitates emptying of the bladder
If the patient is unable to stand, the urinal may be used in bed. Patients may also use a urinal in the bathroom to facilitate measurement of urinary output.
Provide skin care and perineal hygiene after urinal use and maintain a professional manner
EQUIPMENT
Urinal with end cover (usually attached)
Toilet tissue
Clean gloves
Additional PPE, as indicated
ASSESSMENT
Assess the patient’s normal elimination habits.
Determine why the patient needs to use a urinal, such as a physician’s order for strict bed rest or immobilization.
Assess the patient’s degree of limitation and ability to help with activity
Assess for activity limitations, such as hip surgery or spinal injury, which would contraindicate certain actions by the patient.
Check for the presence of drains, dressings, intravenous fluid infusion sites/equipment, traction, or any other devices that could interfere with the patient’s ability to help with the procedure or that could become dislodged.
Assess the characteristics of the urine and the patient’s skin.
Document the patient’s tolerance of the activity. Record the amount of urine voided on the intake and output record, if appropriate. Document any other assessments, such as unusual urine characteristics or alterations in the patient’s skin.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATION
Urinal should not be left in place for extended periods because pressure and irritation to the patient’s skin can result. If patient is unable to use alone or with assistance, consider other interventions, such as commode or external condom catheter.
It may be necessary to assist patients who have difficulty holding the urinal in place, such as those with limited upper extremity movement or alteration in mentation, to prevent spillage of urine.
The urinal may also be used standing or sitting at the bedside or in the patient’s bathroom, if patient is able to do so.
2. ASC Billing & Hospital Outpatient Billing -
Understanding the Differences
HTTPS://WWW.247MEDICALBILLINGSERVICES.COM/
Medical billing consists of hundreds of pages of updated rules,
regulations, and legislation, not to mention thousands of billing codes.
And, navigating them is already a challenge for practices.
Over the last few years, patients and insurers have continued to
pressure the health system and hospitals to move towards ambulatory
surgery centre (ASC) billing from hospital outpatient department billing
(HOPD). The reason is ASCs billing can be a cost-saving procedure. But
to understand how it can be cost-saving, one needs to understand the
difference between ASC and HOPD.
3. ASC Billing & Hospital Outpatient Billing -
Understanding the Differences
HTTPS://WWW.247MEDICALBILLINGSERVICES.COM/
The Difference between ASC & HOPD
The primary difference between ASC and HOPD is based on the
regulations that apply to the centres. For instance, a stand-alone surgery
centre can still be termed as HOPD when it falls under the same
administrative and financial contracts as a hospital that is within a 35-
mile radius.
On the other hand, a facility can have the ASC status despite being
operated by a hospital facility if it has an independent administrative and
financial standing and its own agreement with Medicare.
How Is Payment Different Between ASC & HOPD?
There is a difference in the methodology between ASC and HOPD
operations, which leads to the payment difference.
Both use Medicare; however, when a surgery shifts to ASC from HOPD,
the Medicare payment method changes to the ASC fee schedule from
Outpatient Perspective Payment System (OPPS).
4. ASC Billing & Hospital Outpatient Billing -
Understanding the Differences

While several payment mythology differences result in ASC being
cheaper than HOPD, three main factors contribute to the differences.
• The Value System – Relative weight
• Change in Conversion Factor
• The Wage Index

coding and billing changes while attending to the patients. However,
