The proper procedure involves filling a tub with 105-110°F water, assisting the patient to sit for 15-30 minutes, then drying the area. Sitz baths promote relaxation, circulation and pain relief in various pelvic conditions.
presentation on gastrostomy and jejunostomy feeding
This document provides information about gastrostomy and jejunostomy feeding. It begins by defining an ostomy as a surgical opening from an organ to the outside of the body. It then describes how tubes can be placed through the abdominal wall to access the stomach, duodenum, or jejunum for feeding. The two main types of enteral tube feeding are gastrostomy, which creates an opening into the stomach, and jejunostomy, which creates an opening into the jejunum. Indications, types of feeding schedules, procedural steps, common problems, and nursing responsibilities are outlined. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of educating caregivers on caring for patients with enteral tubes to prevent problems.
Abdominal paracentesis
Paracentesis is a procedure to remove fluid from the peritoneal cavity for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Large amounts of ascites fluid can cause respiratory compromise by exerting pressure on the diaphragm and abdominal organs. Paracentesis relieves this pressure and improves breathing. Key steps include ultrasound assessment, local anesthesia, inserting a needle into the abdomen, draining fluid, and analyzing laboratory samples of the fluid. Complications may include infection, bleeding, or organ damage.
Female urinary catheterization
Female urinary catheterization involves inserting a lubricated catheter into the urethra and inflating a balloon to keep it in place. The catheter size ranges from 12-18 French and is typically 6 inches long for indwelling catheters. Common materials are latex, polyurethane, and silicone. Catheterization is indicated for conditions like urinary retention, output monitoring during procedures or surgery, and incontinence. Long-term use can cause complications such as infections, injuries, stones, and potentially bladder cancer.

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Recently uploaded (20)
