RE: s/l INO catheter preoperatively

[Guest guest]

Tessier's Surgical Word Book lists Inoue balloon catheter.

s/l INO catheter preoperatively

This patient had an aborted bilateral tubal ligation due to adhesive disease

that made it impossible. Before the description of the procedure, it has:

Estimated Blood Loss: Minimal.

Urine Output: *s/l INO* catheter preoperatively.

Specimens: None.

I can't figure out the INO part. My abbreviations book only has

" internuclear ophthalmoplegia " and " inosine, " and I can't find anything in

my other books or on the web that seems to fit either. Anyone know what

this might be? TIA!

Thanks for the input. Unfortunately on researching that a little bit, I

think it just has to do with cardiology and not for use with the urinary

bladder. I could be wrong, though. Thanks anyway for taking the time to

look. I really appreciate all the time and help the members of this list

give. )

Sorry, I don't remember seeing the original of this coming out, guess my e-mail

is doing it's weird stuff again. Anyway, I believe the doctor is actually

referring to I & O (meaning in and out) catheter. This is done a lot

preoperatively, just to empty the bladder before the start of the procedure.

I think it is probably " I & O " catheter, or in-and-out catheter. I have

that a lot in op notes, especially OB-GYN op notes. They usually say, " The

bladder was emptied using an in-and-out catheter. " Hope it helps! )

Okay, so after I have already answered the question (from another e-mail), I

have now finally received the original. The doc would definitely be referring

to in and out catheterization, which is also known as I & O. This is done to

empty the bladder before starting a procedure, but is definitely important when

doing anything inside the pelvis, as it is difficult to see in that small area

when the bladder is full. Margaret (who hopefully won't get too far behind

everyone else tonight)
