Electrical cord inside the Foley, pt from ICU

[Asystole RN]

I have a pt from an ICU of an unfamiliar facility that has an indwelling Foley catheter with an electrical cord embedded in one of the ports. The terminal end of the electrical cord looks like the male jack of stereo headphones. The cord appears to be embedded in a hard plastic plug that was inserted into the secondary port of the Foley.

What is this cord for? I am guessing a temperature probe, indwelling real-time UA analyzer?

kidding. im pretty sure everyone knows that you wouldn't put a foley into a lady parts but it sounds funnier than urethra or bladder. comedic license.

sorry for being a debby downer. you really could but a foley in a lady parts, cant guarantee your going to get much output...never know though. weirder things have happened.

Yeah, you'll get output alright, at least once a month.

Wow, sick minds think alike. A simple thread about a strange looking thing in a foley catheter sprouts all sorts of jokes.

Gotta play some madonna.

We use those foleys for therapeutic hypothermia s/p resuscitation from arrest "code chill". Wonder if we can pipe some tunes in...... Music heals, right?

Bring Me Back To Life by Evanescence is definitely something to play.

Maybe you should think about playing the lady parts Monologues.
