  15. Foley balloon, test or not to test

    scrubnurse replied to mcmike55's topic in Operating Room

    I always test the balloon. I have also had a balloon that would not deflate. Luckily, I had tested it, so it was never put in the bladder. We threw it out and got a new one. What if I hadn't...
