Can anyone help with this problem? Post turp patient catheter wont drain into foley bag but will drain into the leg bag what could be causing this? It has been irrigated, bag changed, will drain without bag or into leg bag. At a loss any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Assuming that the reinserted catheter is where it is actually supposed to be...Spastic bladder (common),Hypervolemia doing it's usual thing, kidneys self adjust and slow way down to protect themselves... (common)(patient absorbed a lot of fluids from flushing to keep the field clear during operation),Post TURP syndrome (10%)(how are patient's serum sodium levels? vision? A&O ??)

I am only suggesting this because believe it or not I found this once when trying to figure out why catheter would not drain! Did the person who added the bedside drainage bag remember to remove the protective cap from the end of the tube? Sometimes the truth is stranger than anything you could make up LOL!

Quote from roser13All great ideas, but given that the Foley is draining freely into the leg bag, I doubt any systemic problems.I'm thinking defective bag or as mentioned, a cap in place.

"Hypervolemia doing it's usual thing"Actually, hypovolemia....

Weird kind of tired night last night... was having visions of misbehaving plumbing � la The Three Stooges - "A Plumbing We Will Go."You know, every convoluted thing that can go wrong... Nice catch Roser13. I was quickly pruning several branches of thought from the middle to shorten my hurried list, while I was changing my mind. (dilutional hyponatremia/ hypervolemia from absorption of excess fluid from surgery and a whole lot of other thoughts were on my pre-edit list) weird how that happened... stretching out in too many directions at once I suppose...
