Foley Catheter issues - yikes!

Published

In clinicals yesterday in the ED, I had opportunity to insert 4 foleys. They were all on ladies who were older 70s. Finding the darn urethra was quite a chore - even for the nurse with me. Anyone have any good tips to locate? We kept getting into the lady parts and it would curl back out ! Holy Ike !

Thank you all for the suggestions. I will sure try them next week! You all rock!
