This isn't far enough. In a male patient, you should always insert an indwelling catheter up to the catheter's Y bifurcation before you inflate the balloon. This ensures that the balloon isn't inflated while in the prostatic urethra, which would cause pain and bleeding.Nursing...
For each breath, steadily and smoothly squeeze the bag to deliver a tidal volume of 6 to 7 mL/kg (or about 500 mL for an average size adult) over 1 second, and then release the bag to allow it to reinflate. If using a 1000-mL volume bag, sque...
“Flashback”) from the veins, remove the tourniquet and completely advance the catheter and remove the needle altogether. Secure the catheter to the patient’s skin correctly and open the infusion line to start the therapy. It’sone of the best feelings in nursing!
To put a stent in, your doctor makes a small cut in a blood vessel in your groin, arm, or neck. They then thread a thin tube called a catheter through the blood vessel to the blocked artery. The tube has a tiny balloon at the end of it. Your doctor inflates the balloon inside y...
In step 2b, I sometimes find that 2atm is not adequate to inflate the proximal part of the stent. I have to inflate the inflator up to 6atm. In step 3, why don't we insert the wire into the proximal strut from the proximal wire, instead of the distal part to avoid damaging...
The pigtail is placed so the proximal hole of the catheter is just above the aortic valve. The C arm of the image intensifier is then placed to obtain the perpendicular deployment view determined with the CT scan. It is important to visualize the valve calcifications without interferences with...
After the correct placement of the balloon, the physician inflates the balloon with a sterile saline solution using the enclosed syringe. To achieve the tamponade effect (maximum blockage), the physician applies gentle traction at the base of the balloon. The physician achieves the traction by pla...
An electronically controlled syringe system for connection to a balloon catheter or other balloon-type member and for automatically monitoring, displaying and recording inflation data when the syringe system is used to inflate the balloon of the catheter or other balloon-type member. A syringe having...

However, independent of severity and location, the first step in case of perforation is to inflate a balloon at low pressure (6–8 atm) at the site of the perforation in order to stop the extravasation [56]. In some patients, the dilatation of the balloon for a maximum of 15 min can...
