The patient's performance during the repositioning procedure can help the doctor identify abnormalities. As long as the patient does not make too much noise to affect the doctor's operation, there is no need for sedatives.
It was determined today that the patient does not temporarily need sedation.
Doctor Yang put on gloves and applied paraffin oil to the anal tube to be inserted.
The special tube inserted from the anus is called a balloon catheter, known in English as a Foley catheter.
The lubricated anal tube will be easier to insert into the anus. It needs to be inserted beyond the anus into the rectum; otherwise, the inflation will be too shallow and result in air leakage. The name balloon catheter indicates it comes with a balloon. Once inserted to a predetermined depth, the assistant inflates the balloon with 20 milliliters of air to form a small ball blocking the anus, preventing the tube from slipping out.
