Pertaining to the catheter, EMT must <u>place the catheter bag below the patient's bladder</u>.

An indwelling urinary catheter is inserted in the same way as an intermittent catheter, but the catheter is left in place. The catheter is held in the bladder by a water-filled balloon, which prevents it falling out. These types of catheters are often known as Foley catheters

Care must be taken while using EMT:

  • Perform peri-care using only soap and water.
  • Keep the catheter and tubing from kinking and becoming obstructed.
  • Keep catheter systems closed when using urine collection bags or leg bags.
  • Replace catheters that become disconnected.

Explanation:

Tibial Collateral ligament

Tibial Collateral ligament is one of the four important ligaments in knee. It joins femur with tibia or shinbone. The kneecap sits in the middle of this joint. Ligaments are very sensitive to strains. Tibial collateral ligament is most common ligament to get damage, specially for athletes. There could be three form of injury to this ligament.

Grade 1

Sprain is mild stretch or tear,

Grade 2

Sprain is partial tear and

Grade 3

Sprain is full tear of the ligament.

The damage occurs due to sudden force which is extensive for the ligament and it overstretches. Sudden impact on lateral surface will push the knee sideways, giving stress on the ligament, making it overstretch; and if the force is too great ligament will tear.
