Another irritating question...CBI

Published

Can someone tell me how to set up and manage CBI?

I would like to know your experiences with continuous bladder irrigation...what to assess, what can go wrong...or anything about it.

That's really more of a urology issue than a renal issue. Maybe you could post something over there?

I work in an inpatient urology floor. Our doctors place our 3 way foleys and we maintain them. Usually we titrate them until the urine is pink. Things to watch for are flow, output, color and irrigant volume. Make sure it doesn't go dry because it could clot off if the pt has a lot of clots and is running at a fast rate.
