Question

3. 0800-1000: 3 Liters of bladder irrigation 1000: emptied Foley catheter 3600 mL 1100: 1 Liter of bladder irrigation 1200: 2 Liters of bladder irrigation and emptied 3250 mL from Foley catheter 1300: 1 Liter of bladder irrigation 1400: 1 Liter of bladder irrigation 1500: 1 Liter of bladder irrigation and emptied 3120 mL from Foley Catheter 1600-1900: 3 Liters of bladder irrigation 1900: emptied 4200 mL from Foley catheter Calculate the patient's total urinary output for the shift (0700-1900). The patient has continuous bladder irrigation and a Foley catheter. Output:

Answer 1

Total urinary output ;

• First irrigation is with 3 litre and emptied 3600 ml from catheter, So the urine output is 3600 - 3000 = 600 ml
• After continuously irrigated with 1 liter + 2 liter and emptied 3250 ml, So the urine output is 3250 - 3000 = 250 ml.
• And on the following hour it is irrigated with 1 liter + 1 liter + 1 liter and emptied 3120 ml, so the urine output is
  3120 - 3000 = 120 ml
• At last the irrigation is with the amount of 3 liter and emptied with 4200 ml, hence the urine output will be
  4200 -3000 = 1200

Therefore the total urine output during all this time would be 600 + 250 + 120 + 1200 = 2170
So the total urine output is 2170 ml
