I’ve been dealing with SPC for over 27 years & had many different catherters & after a couple of years or so we have to change the make of the catherter due to them not working any longer within the body ! Gone swimming done hot tubs and never had one fail ! We do videos for carers to show them what to do in all different situations to help others understand SPC as my son is on a ventilator and has experienced so many medical mistakes since his been a spinal & brain injury with scoliosis and a congenital diaphragmatic hernia, it’s sad how it’s not talked about enough ! Thank you for your video ❤
Thank you for this video. My brother is completely paralyzed from MSA “Multi System Atrophy” His daughter, my niece takes care of him. I’m encouraging her to get him a suprapubic catheter. When they recently did a routine Foley catheter change, they caused bleeding. It had stopped, but started again, much worse. I’m sending her your video to help her decide.😇❤️
I had a L1 fracture in 2009 and suffered neurogenic bladder. Between these times and now, I always had recurrent UTIs. It is a major issue and was getting worse everyday. However, just by cleaning the penes with a baby wipe before catheterization, I have three months without an infection up to now. Thank God!
Thank you for creating this, I live in the UK. I am prone to get regular UTIs but realise now that strong smelling urine is not neccessarily an infection although urine samples are sent to the lab at the Hospial for investigation . I now receive 2 flushes a week by a District Nurse depending on my PH levels which helps with regards to blockages. I need to ask the D.N. about PH levels.
Thank you for this video. After watching I have decided that a suprapubic catheter is not for me, because it comes with too many problems. I already have more than my fill of quality of life issues from having vaginal vault brachytherapy, causing bladder incontinence that was not able to be stopped by Interstim as well as botox. And, I wear a pessary which comes with its own inconveniences. In hind sight I would not have had the brachytherapy. My cancer recurrence risk is now only 3%. For more than a year I only ate foods known to kill or prevent cancer, something my Oncologist is totally impressed by. I was told that brachytherpay is well tolerated by patients, something I strongly disagree with. It is not just degrading and humiliating, but dealing with the side effects 24/7 can be depressing and humiliating. I was told that it was suggested as a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10. Too late to change my mind now!
Good video with lots of information, but much of it is difficult to understand with the music on similar decibel levels as the doctor's voice. K. Lassey
This was excellent! I have had the issue of the sp catheter getting stuck when attempting to change it. Any suggestions for how to handle this as a home care nurse?
Thanks SO MUCH!!! This was very, very helpful. I am getting my SPC in around March 7. I have a request. Can you please spell terms? Many of us are taking notes. Are you saying "hyacinth" or "high assist" or something else? Is the other name for Linc "Yushin"? Having the terms spelled out would be very helpful. Also, holding the packaging in front of the camera longer would be helpful. Again, thank you so much. I am very worried!!!
I had my SPC removed today a week after a prostectomy. I wasn’t given much information about after care (cleaning, wound healing time etc) of the wound after SPC removal, would be grateful for any tips
I got a suprapubic catheter a month ago...its worrying me because whenever i have sex and the feeling and act of ejaculation occurs. Sperm does not come out..😯..my wife asks where is te...!!! Its frustrating
