what kind of information are you looking for?

We do closed system urinary devices-we do not go from leg bag to bed bag and back again. If the bag is changed, the whole foley is changed. This is house wide as well, seems to decrease the number of nosocomial inf.
Never place on baxter pads/cloth pads
podus boots are a must if they have them
turning is a must
repositioning/monitoring skin/Bowel programs are a BIG DEAL/foley management/ etc to prevent dysreflexia
etc......
am I on the right track????
let me know

this is interesting. Our educator asked me to go to the aides mtg and discuss SCIs, I have an outline but of course I am still at a loss what to focus on. (Heels, WHOs, ROM, auto dys, bowels, turning, whento get nurse, too tight clothes -auto dys again, foleys, neck braces for new injuries, etc.) I guess I will just have to narrow it down and the rest put in a flyer for them to read later-
