Almost every mother is faced with the problem of collecting urine for analysis from a small child. The pediatric drainage bag allows you to get the right amount of urine without too much difficulty if you put it on correctly.
Instructions
Step 1
When buying a urine bag in a pharmacy, take 2-3 pieces: its use requires a certain skill, and it may not be possible to collect urine the first time.
Step 2
According to the instructions on the package, the urine bag should be worn on the child at night under the diaper, but this should not be done, because several portions of urine released during this time can distort the test result.
Step 3
Urine is usually collected in the morning, but if the process takes a few minutes for an adult, then it may take more than an hour for a child. When going to the clinic, get up 1-1.5 hours earlier than usual in order to carry out all the manipulations in a calm atmosphere.
Step 4
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water and then wash your baby. Dry well his skin in the genital area by blotting the moisture with a soft diaper or towel. Place the baby on his back, spread the legs and make sure the crotch is dry.
Step 5
Open the package and unfold the urine bag, remove the protective film from the adhesive surface.
Step 6
Urine bags are worn differently for boys and girls. In the first case, lower the baby's penis and scrotum into the opening of the urine bag, firmly press the adhesive part to the skin in the perineum and around the genitals. In this case, the direction of the tank does not matter.
Step 7
For a girl, glue the bag with the reservoir down, starting from the point between the labia and the anus and moving up to the pubic area.
Step 8
The sticky plate must be glued tightly, completely capturing the area of urine excretion, but with the expectation that when removing the urine bag it does not damage the baby's delicate skin.
Step 9
After putting on the urine bag, wait for the child to urinate. Do not put him in a disposable diaper and leave him lying down: the baby will jerk his legs, the glue surface will shift and urine will remain in the diaper. It is better to wrap it in a diaper or blanket, if it is cold at home, and wear it on your hands, and if you breastfeed or drink water, the process will go faster.
Step 10
When the material for analysis is collected, wash the baby again, dry the skin, lubricate with cream and put on a diaper.
