Reply to "Trouble intubating"

Hi, 

Have you tried changing positions? If you normally sit, try standing up (less pressure on the bottom of your pouch...it will hang 'free'...and may make things easier, if not try laying down either in the tub or on your bed with a blue pad under you and a jug or cup to catch output. 

Once you get the catheter in, please leave it in for a few days. You can plug it or hook it up to a leg bag or something else.

Do not irritate it more than it is already. 

IF you feel like you are hitting a wall, it might mean that you have a kink or a twist or that your pouch has slipped down off of the wall and is pull on the valve which causes a change in trajectory.

You can PM me if you need some extra info.

Sharon
