How to deliver a ship to a bedridden patient. Departure of natural needs

Most often, the vessel is round, has a large opening at the top and a small one at the bottom in the tube that serves to free the vessel from its contents. The upper large opening is provided with a cover. A clean vessel is usually located under the patient's bed on a special bench.

Rules for submitting a vessel

When submitting a vessel, you need to follow a number of simple rules. When a patient needs to empty his bowels, he must be fenced off from the rest of the patients with a screen, then rinse the vessel with warm water, leaving some water at the bottom.

The patient is thrown back the blanket, asking him to bend his legs, and helping him with his left hand to raise the pelvis. The bedside home caregiver holds the boat with her right hand by the tube, bringing it under the patient's buttocks.

After installing the vessel, the patient's perineum should be above the upper opening, and the tube should be between his legs. After this, the patient can be covered with a blanket and left alone for a while. After that, the vessel is taken out from under the patient and taken out to the toilet for pouring out, covered with a lid.

After emptying the vessel, it must be disinfected with a solution of bleach (1–2%) or a solution of chloramine (3%), and also washed with a brush. The vessel should then be rinsed and stored under the patient's bed on a bench.

There are also special machines for washing the vessel. According to the rules of some hospitals, ships are stored in a special cabinet in numbered cells.

Using a urine bag

With strict bed rest in bed, patients have to urinate. For this, there is a special device - a urine bag. They are made of oval shape with an elongated tube-shaped hole made of metal or glass, so that patient care is carried out competently.

In this case, the shape of this tube in urine bags for men and women is different. Also, women often use a vessel to urinate.

The urine collection bag and vessel must be individual. They are served to the patient in a clean and heated form, after fulfilling their function, they are immediately emptied and cleaned.

Cleaning the urine bag differs in that it is washed from time to time with a solution of hydrochloric acid of low concentration, since urine produces a sediment that easily adheres to the walls of the urine bag and leaves an unpleasant odor.

If the patient is forbidden to walk even to the toilet, he must perform all physiological functions in bed. for emptying the intestines, bed vessels are used, which can be enameled, earthenware and rubber. The bed is served to the bedridden patient. Before serving, the vessel should be rinsed with hot water as it must be clean and warm. The boat should be driven very carefully.

Rice. 8. Correct position of the backing disc.

The left hand is brought under the patient's sacrum and at the same time lifted, and the right hand is carefully placed under the vessel and brought under the sacrum with a cape forward so that the buttocks hang slightly over its opening (Fig. 8). Then the patient is covered with a blanket, and after emptying the intestines, the vessel is immediately carried away. It is advisable to fence off the patient with a screen during bowel emptying. After defecation, the bedpan is carefully removed from under the patient so as not to spill the contents, covered with an oilcloth or newspaper and taken to the toilet room. The patient is washed away and the area of ​​the anus is wiped dry. The contents of the vessel are poured into the toilet. The vessel is washed well with hot water with Hygiena and Novost powders. After that, the vessel is disinfected with 2% chloramine solution or 0.5% clarified bleach solution. Weak patients with a small subcutaneous fat layer, a tendency to form pressure ulcers, as well as fecal incontinence should be given inflatable rubber liners, which, due to their elasticity, exert the least pressure on the sacrum and at the same time protect from contact with secretions, which is the prevention of pressure ulcers. The vessel should not be inflated tightly. The bedpan should not be placed directly on the sheet, but an oilcloth must be placed under it. It must be emptied in time. At the moment, there are special machines that wash and dry ships. The junior nurse constantly monitors the cleanliness and proper storage of the vessels. For men to empty the bladder and patients with urinary incontinence, they are given urinals, that is, (ducks), they are placed between the patient's legs, and the penis is lowered into the opening. These drainage bags can be made of glass or enamel. After each urination, they are emptied, washed well with one of the "Hygiene", "News" means. to remove sediment from the walls, it is necessary to periodically wash it with a weak solution of hydrochloric acid. Before serving the patient, the urine bag should be rinsed with warm water. Each bedridden patient should have an individual urine collection bag, which is located by the bed, and a bedpan, which is stored in a special nest under the bed.

Timely administration of natural needs is necessary for the normal functioning of the body and the well-being of the patient. Caregivers should carefully monitor the frequency and nature of the administration, but at the same time show maximum tact and delicacy in relation to the patient, especially if he is bedridden. It is unacceptable to reproach, urge the patient and show other forms of impatience. The pressure on the patient will only aggravate the psychological discomfort he is already experiencing due to the need to empty himself while lying down.

Bedridden patients experience particular difficulties with defecation. When a person is continuously in a horizontal position, the work of the gastrointestinal tract slows down, so bedridden patients suffer from constipation. In addition, many of them try to deliberately reduce the frequency of bowel movements, because they feel uncomfortable.

To establish psychological contact on this issue, it is necessary to ask the patient how often and at what time of the day he usually “walks in a big way”. Perhaps right after breakfast or late at night. This information will help create the most comfortable and familiar environment for normal bowel movements.

Currently, there are many devices that facilitate the process of administration of natural needs for the patient. They can be divided into three large groups depending on the condition of the patient for whom they are intended.

1. If the patient is limited by the apartment space and can independently (or with the help of supporting means) reach the toilet, then special devices must be installed in the toilet room itself. This group includes handrails and brackets, toilet supports and toilet attachments.
2. If the patient can sit and is limited by the bedside space, it is necessary to purchase a toilet chair, dry closet or a wheelchair with sanitary equipment for him.
3. If the patient is confined to bed space and / or is unable to control the physiological process, a boat, duck, diapers, urological pads, absorbent diapers, urine and fecal bags, as well as hospital hygiene products for treating the skin after a bowel movement can be used to facilitate caring for him. ...

1.If the patient is confined to the living space and can walk to the toilet on their own (Toilet Room Accessories)

If the patient gets to the toilet on his own, then the main difficulty he faces is getting on and off the toilet. The standard toilet is low enough that you need to increase its height using the toilet attachment.

Fits most toilets, attaches without tools and increases the height of the toilet by 10-18 cm. Depending on the model, the nozzle can have a cover, armrests (including folding ones) and splash protection. There is also a height-adjustable nozzle.

To make it easier for the patient to get out of the toilet, it is necessary to attach special handrails to the wall in the toilet room. If the toilet is in a corner and there are two walls adjacent to it, then one vertical and one horizontal handrail should be located on the side wall. If the toilet is adjacent to only one wall, then the handrail:

• mounts directly behind the toilet and is a folding bracket or
• is installed on the floor and has the shape of a corner (L-shaped handrail).

The distance from the bracket to the toilet should be approximately 22 cm.

To make it easier to get up, portable structures are also used - supports for the toilet. These are light metal frames with soft armrests that are installed on top of the toilet, adjustable in height, do not slip and do not leave marks on the floor due to rubber tips on the legs. The armrests serve as a support for the patient, from which he pushes off, rising from the toilet.

2.If the patient can sit and is confined to bedside space (Toilet Chairs)

If the patient retains at least little physical activity and can sit on his own, it is necessary to equip his bedside space in such a way that he can send his natural needs in a familiar posture and without leaving the room. To do this, you need to put a toilet chair next to the bed.

The toilet chair is a portable chair with a removable plastic boat. According to the functional equipment, toilet chairs are divided into three categories:, and disabled. The latter category also includes wheelchairs with small wheels and wheelchairs with large wheels for independent movement. Each category contains many models with a different set of functions, the need for which is determined by the patient's condition.

The legged toilet chair consists of a lightweight chair-shaped aluminum frame, a removable plastic boat with a cover, a small backrest and armrests. All toilet chairs have telescopic legs with non-slip rubber tips. Toilet-chair equipment can also include folding armrests and a padded backrest. For obese people, reinforced toilet chairs with increased carrying capacity and a wide seat are produced.

The toilet chair on wheels has small castors on all four legs and is easily transported from one place to another. The rear wheels are equipped with a brake, which ensures safety when transferring to the chair.

A wheelchair with sanitary fittings is a comfortable toilet chair with a full backrest, seat, footrests, armrests and handles for an accompanying person. In it, you can transport the patient over short distances (around the house, to the clinic, etc.), and the rest of the time it can be used as a toilet chair standing by the bed. Some models of sanitary wheelchairs allow you to slide onto the toilet and use the toilet in the traditional way. In this case, a nozzle with an anti-sprinkler must be installed on the toilet.

A wheelchair with sanitary equipment is designed for the independent movement of a person with disabilities. The sanitary device in this case allows the wheelchair to be used as a toilet chair. Depending on the model, a wheelchair with sanitary equipment can have folding and removable armrests and footrests, ankle rests, an adjustable headrest, removable rear wheels.

When choosing a toilet chair with legs or wheels, the patient's weight, seat height and the required options are taken into account. For example, folding armrests make it easier to transfer to a chair, soft pads on the armrests and backrest create a more comfortable environment for the patient. Before you buy a toilet chair, you need to know its carrying capacity and compare it with the patient's weight. When the toilet chair is already at the bedside, you need to adjust it in height: the legs of the patient sitting on the chair should stand firmly on the floor and be bent at an angle of 90º.

Wheelchairs and wheelchairs with sanitary fittings are selected according to the same parameters as classic wheelchairs (mainly in the width of the seat).

Points to remember when using a toilet chair

If the patient is able to use the toilet chair independently, the task of the people caring for him is to clean the sanitary device in a timely manner after departure. All items necessary for the patient should be within reach: toilet paper, air freshener, wet hand wipes or a container of water and a towel. The sick person should also have a bell or cell phone so they can let you know when to clean the sanitary device.

When the patient is relieved and calls you, you need to put on gloves, disconnect the sanitary device, empty the contents into the toilet, then clean the bucket with a brush, antibacterial detergent and water (not a sponge or bleach!). In the sanitary device, you need to leave a little water or pink liquid on the bottom for the upper tank of the dry closet. The liquid neutralizes unpleasant odors, disinfects the bucket and facilitates waste disposal. After you put the sanitary device back in place, take off your gloves and wash your hands well.

If the patient's condition is more severe, the caregiver should help the patient to move from the bed to the toilet chair, making sure that he sits upright and with the correct weight distribution in the chair. It is important to leave the patient alone at the time of departure. Then he can call you a bell. If the patient is unable to take care of himself, gently help him: first wipe the perineum with soft toilet paper, then, using warm water or hospital hygiene products, wash it.

Dry closets

It is another device that greatly facilitates the departure of natural needs, especially for the elderly, who are alone most of the time. The dry closet does not need to be emptied after each use, it does not emit unpleasant odors, does not take up much space and is not inferior to conventional toilet bowls in terms of comfort.

The dry closet consists of two interconnected tanks, a seat and a cover. The upper tank stores water for flushing, the lower one collects waste. A special tank is poured into the lower tank, which decomposes waste and destroys the smell. As it fills, the lower tank can be easily detached from the upper tank and emptied easily and hygienically. The seat with a lid is built into the upper tank and has a classic shape.

The volume of the bottom tank varies from 12 to 21 liters. As a rule, this amount is enough for 50 uses (about 7 days). Depending on the model, the dry closet can have a manual or electric drain and a full indicator, which shows that the lower tank is completely full.

The volume of the top tank of the dry closet is 10-15 liters. The upper flush tank is filled with water, which must be diluted with a special flush liquid to facilitate flushing and extend the life of the toilet.

The dry closet can be used separately, by placing it near the patient's bed, or installed under a toilet chair instead of a removable vessel. Moreover, it can be either a toilet chair on legs or a wheelchair with sanitary equipment. The frame of the toilet chair makes it easier for the patient to sit down on the seat, and the dry closet eliminates the need to manually clean the vessel each time. This combined option is the most hygienic and convenient for both the patient and the caregivers.

3. If the patient is confined to bed space and / or is not able to control the process of physiological dispensaries (vessel, hygiene products)

In the most severe cases, when the patient cannot sit or when the movements cause him severe pain, various devices are used to send the natural needs in a horizontal position. Traditionally, a vessel and a duck are used to collect feces and urine, respectively.

It can be enamelled, plastic or inflatable (rubber). In the manufacture of plastic vessels, polypropylene is used, the so-called "warm material", which quickly acquires body temperature and does not create discomfort for the patient. For patients who experience severe pain during movement, it is better to purchase a boat of the "Ladya" type, in which the front part is very low and can be easily inserted under the sacrum. For thin patients, a rubber boat is more suitable, since its inflatable sides do not squeeze soft tissues in the sacrum area and do not cause pain. When taking out the rubber boat, be especially careful not to spill its contents onto the bed.

A duck, or urine bag, is a plastic vessel with attachments for women and men. In the manufacture of urine bags, "warm materials" are also used, which lend themselves well to disinfection. Depending on the model, the duck may have a carrying handle and a graduation to control the amount of urine.

The ship and / or duck should be near the patient's bed, but not in his field of vision, so as not to remind him of the illness once again.

Alternative to the ship and duck are, which can be used for the controlled administration of the needs of bedridden patients and incontinence (incontinence, including fecal incontinence). Diapers effectively and quickly absorb moisture and keep it inside the diaper, so the patient's skin remains dry, which is very important for the prevention of pressure ulcers. The most famous brands in this category are Abena, Tena, Seni.

Diapers vary in absorbency, shape and size. The more severe the form of incontinence, the more and better diapers should absorb. Usually in the name of diapers that can absorb a large amount of liquid, there is the word "Plus". At night, it is better to use special night diapers.

Pampers for adults can be semi-open and closed. For bedridden patients, closed diapers are more suitable, which provide maximum fit and guarantee complete protection against leakage. The liquid absorbed into the inner layer of the diaper turns into a gel, in which bacteria cannot multiply, which means that an unpleasant odor does not appear. The diapers are breathable and breathable, and they have a Velcro closure. Some models have a full indicator - a special strip that changes color when the diaper is full.

The size of the diaper is determined by the size of the waist and the circumference of the hips. The size range may vary depending on the brand. However, in general, the smallest size S corresponds to a hip circumference of 80 cm, medium M - 110 cm, large L - 150 cm and very large XL - 164 cm.

In order to put on a diaper, it is necessary to turn the patient on his side, put a previously opened diaper under him so that the wider part with fasteners is located under the buttocks, and the narrower part under the legs. Then you need to turn the patient on his back, stretch the narrow part of the diaper between the legs and press it tightly against the crotch. After that, the diaper is fixed with fasteners at the waist (first the lower ones, then the upper ones). When the diaper is on, you need to make sure that it is snug enough, but not tightly attached to the body, and the frills in the groin area are not turned upside down. The used diaper is rolled up and thrown into the trash can, never down the toilet.

Remember - the use of diapers does not relieve the caregivers of the obligation to carry out hygiene procedures 1-2 times a day!

Since the skin in the genital area is subject to frequent contact with irritating factors (urine, feces), it requires special care and the use of special hospital hygiene products to prevent irritation, diaper rash and pressure sores. These products primarily include protective creams, which must be applied to the skin around the genitals each time you wash. Creams cover the skin with a thin protective film, protecting it from irritation.

For mild to moderate urinary incontinence, it can be used. The inner layer of these pads is designed to instantly absorb moisture and neutralize odors. Urological pads help relieve the internal stress associated with the fear of staining the sheets and once again showing their own helplessness. These pads are available for both women and men. It is convenient to use special elastic mesh pants with urological pads, which securely fix the pad on the thighs.

Since the departure of natural needs in a horizontal position is always associated with possible contamination of linen and mattress, it is better to make the bed waterproof and absorbent, which must be changed daily or more often as needed. Cleanliness and dryness of linen are directly related to the risk of diaper rash and pressure sores, one of the most severe complications of bed rest.

- this is the most important condition for his speedy recovery or maintaining health in good condition for a long time. In modern conditions, it is easy to choose a care product that will be most comfortable for such a patient, as well as convenient for his relatives, friends and medical personnel who are caring for them. One of the necessary facilities is a ship (duck) for bedridden patients.

Varieties of care products for bedridden patients

People of different ages and genders quite often find themselves bedridden for a certain period of time due to the complete or partial loss of the ability to move. In such a situation, there is no way to go to the toilet, and you have to use special devices, ducks.

Until a few years ago, the bedridden medical vessel was an enamelled metal reservoir that was used to collect food from men and women and collect urine from women. The second variety was a duck for bedridden male patients, which was an enamelled metal urinal. These two types of care products exist today, but are represented by a variety of models. For example, there are plastic designs.

Important! Good care and regular hygiene procedures improve not only the physical, but also the psychological state of the patient.

How to choose a bedside care product

If you needed a vessel for bedridden patients at home, then when choosing, you need to take into account several aspects:

• the form that best suits the individual characteristics of the patient, without causing inconvenience and painful sensations;
• ease of use and disinfection of the vessel (duck) for a bed patient;
• design corresponding to the patient's weight characteristics;
• material, its flexibility and elasticity, etc.

So that the collection of waste products is not perceived by the patient as an unpleasant procedure, it is necessary to carefully select the models of special medical equipment necessary in this case.

For patients of different sex, there are various modifications: for example, a duck or a female vessel for bedridden patients is made in accordance with the anatomical features and is designed for the most comfortable use from a physiological and psychological point of view.

If your ward has bedsores or has a danger of occurrence, it is necessary to purchase a rubber boat for bedridden patients. In addition, for the correct choice of a product, it is important to consult a doctor about the characteristics of the condition and the course of the disease.

Types of medical vessel (ducks)

Medical equipment designed to receive human waste products is produced in several varieties, for example, you can pick up a duck or a boat for bedridden sick men, as well as for women.

The first type is the vessel itself, that is, an oval (or round) -shaped container-tray, placed under the pelvic region and used to empty both the bladder and the intestines at the same time. The bed-bed boat is used in the care of men and women. Modern recumbent boat models are made from materials that make maintenance minimally painful. You can put the boat under the bedridden patient if he is in the supine position. In case of severe illnesses, this is a very convenient and ergonomic option, since there is no need to turn the patient on one side. Comparison of the characteristics of the vessel (duck) for bedridden patients from various materials will help to choose the best option (table).

Each of the presented models has its own characteristics. For example, a rubber inflatable boat for bedridden patients is not suitable for patients with a large body weight, as it can deflate. In addition, a rubber boat is not as durable as equipment made from other materials. A duck or plastic vessel for bedridden patients combines several advantages such as long service life and strength, but differs in its ability to absorb even if it is regularly treated and disinfected. An enamelled metal vessel for a bed patient cannot be used in case of pressure ulcers, after injuries of the lumbosacral or femoral neck.

The rubber padded vessel for bedridden patients is available in three sizes and has a special valve for inflation. Reservoirs made of plastic or metal are made with lids, you can also purchase a cover or comfortable absorbent pads to increase the comfort of defecation or urination.

Ducks models for women and men

Medical equipment with a long neck for receiving bladder secretions is popularly called duck. Modern manufacturers of medical equipment offer a wide range of products for the care of women and men. Such devices are convenient and can be used not only when the patient is turned on the side, but also in the supine position. Ducks, like ships for bedridden patients, are produced from different materials: metal, glass, plastic.

Important! It is convenient to use a duck for bedridden patients, since special modifications have been developed for males and females, corresponding to the anatomical structure of their genitourinary organs.

Boat care rules

In order not to create additional discomfort for a sick person, you need to use the ship for bedridden patients carefully and quickly, observing a few simple rules:

• if possible, ensure the confidentiality of the procedure by using a medical screen;
• before putting the vessel to a bedridden patient, it is necessary to put on medical gloves, prepare an oilcloth (or), wet wipes for intimate hygiene, cotton wool, warm water, toilet soap, a towel or a soft cloth;
• warm up and dry the vessel (duck) and make sure that the surface temperature is equal;
• remove the blanket;

• ask the patient to raise the pelvic part and bend the knees to put an oilcloth, or, in case of immobility, perform these manipulations on their own;
• it is necessary to place the vessel correctly for a lying patient, raising or supporting the sacral part with one hand, and with the other hand gently bringing the vessel so that the buttocks are located above the opening;
• make sure that the patient is comfortable lying, cover with a blanket or sheet and give him time to empty his bowels and bladder;
• at the end of the procedure, after bowel movement and urination, it is necessary to cleanse the skin from the remains of feces and urine with toilet paper or wet wipes, then wash the genital area with warm water and soap, wipe it gently, then remove the vessel (duck) and oilcloth.

In some cases, it is not possible to empty the intestines while lying on their back, so you will need to turn such a patient on their side and protect their skin from contamination with a diaper or napkin. After the procedure, you can lubricate the surface of the skin with cream or powder.

Important! The vessel (duck) for bedridden patients is washed, disinfected and dried immediately after the manipulation.

Rules for caring for a bedridden patient with a duck

However, if the condition is serious, it is necessary to put a duck on a bedridden patient, relying on the knowledge of several rules:

1. before manipulation, you must wash your hands and wear medical gloves;
2. to put a duck to a bedridden patient, you need to throw back the blanket, provide access to the genitourinary organs and bring the reservoir so as to prevent urine from leaking onto bedding or clothing;
3. after use, the duck should be washed immediately using a stiff brush and a disinfectant solution of chloramine or other substances.

When purchasing, having suffered injuries and other diseases, or an elderly person, you need to carefully study the technical characteristics and instructions, which says how to properly put the vessel to a bedridden patient. In addition, you can invite a medical professional and get specialist advice. It must be remembered that good care will help the patient recover faster and feel comfortable even in the most difficult condition.

The ship is not a whim, but an important and necessary means of caring for a bed patient, on the site you will learn how to choose the right one. The normalization of the patient's life directly depends on the quality, shape and characteristics of this medical item. The use of disposable diapers is not always advisable, but it also hits the budget. In this case, the way out of a delicate situation is a properly selected vessel.

When choosing a medical device, you need to take into account the gender of the elderly person. A special urine bag is used for a man.

Standard ship sizes:

1. 43 × 35 cm, volume - 0.7 l;
2. 48 × 37 cm, volume - 1.0 l;
3. 54 × 45 cm, volume - 1.5 liters.

Modern devices are most often navicular and round in shape. Medical vessels should be:

• resistant to aggressive and disinfectants;
• non-traumatic;
• convenient for the elderly person and their caregivers.

Various materials are used for the manufacture of the vessel - rubber, metal, plastic.

Which vessel (duck) is better for an elderly person?

When choosing a vessel, you need to take into account all its advantages and disadvantages. The scaphoid shape is preferable, since when using such equipment, the risk of staining the laundry is minimal.

Round devices are more likely to leak.

If an elderly person suffers from constipation and has to use enemas for emptying, then it is better to choose large metal products.

The advantages of a plastic vessel:

• the material easily accepts the temperature of the human body;
• low weight of the device;
• shape - the height of the product for the sacrum area is lower than for other areas;
• indicated for patients who cannot lift the sacrum on their own;
• the product is resistant to frequent washing and treatment with any disinfectant;
• does not retain or accumulate unpleasant odors;
• the presence of a measuring scale, which allows you to control the volume of bowel movements;
• the color range of products allows you to study the color of feces or urine;
• there is a cover.

The disadvantages of plastic products include the small volume of the vessel, which does not allow using it after an enema.

The metal product is more durable and is more often used in medical institutions. It should not be constantly under the patient.

Advantages of stainless steel products:

• unlimited service life;
• hygiene - a smooth surface does not retain particles of feces;
• resistance to septic tanks, frequent washing;
• large bowl volume;
• shape, many models are equipped with side handles.

Metal models should not be used for patients with pressure ulcers, as the sharp edges can injure the skin. In addition, it is difficult to see the color of feces or urine in them.

Operating rules

Before using a medical device, you need to prepare a towel or oilcloth, talcum powder or baby powder, toilet paper or wet wipes, rubber gloves.

Algorithm of actions when using the ship:

1. Wash your hands, put on gloves.
2. Place a towel or waterproof napkin under the elderly person's basin.
3. Pour hot water into the vessel. This will keep the product warm.
4. Treat the edges with talcum powder or baby powder. This will make it easier to place the boat under the basin. It is forbidden to use these funds for bedsores.
5. If the patient is lying down, ask them to roll over to their side and bend their legs. If independent movement is impossible, then it is turned over.
6. Place the boat as close to the patient as possible. Next, ask him to lift the pelvis while supporting the patient under the sacrum. Use your other hand to move the medical equipment under the elderly person.
7. Make sure the boat is in the correct position and the hole is in the right place.
8. If the patient can perform the necessary actions on his own, there is no threat to life and health, then it is better to leave him alone with the medical equipment. Ask to report the end of a bowel movement or urination.
9. Pull out the ship.
10. Remove the medical device and perform the necessary hygiene procedures.
