Hi just doing research, anyone knows how the hospitable deals with patients who are unable to move or in coma when they need to pass waste? Like urine or other bodily functions?
Do they get attached to special machines or equipments?

In most Case they will use attends (adult diapers) Placing things like Foley's increases risk of infection. But they will commonly use a Foley catheter. And as far as bowel movements most people who are unable to control their bowel functions use attends. I have only seen rectal tubes used for people that are having bowel clean outs where they are trying to evacuate the bowels.

I don't know what it's called, but they put this tube up the Urethra, and the urine goes into a bag. Umm, I've never heard of how they handle the other...maybe they just let it happen, and then clean it up? Eww, I don't wanna consider it anymore.

Catheters take care of urine. Solid waste I'm not sure.

No, you do not have a case. whilst they have been rude and unprofessional of their habit the scientific care grew to become into in the known of care. you are able to not sue a medical institution given which you do not purely like the way they taken care of you. There the two ought to be a breech in the known of care that ends up in scientific negligence. almost letting you bypass residing house does not equate to a scientific blunders. in actuality which you have been admitted and your situation grew to become into taken care of.

they wear daipers and get changed if they are incoherant and some get renal failure or kidney failure and go on dialisis but most of them are incontinent and wear diapers, you change them if you are a CNA, and the RNs usually deal with cathetars and dialisis equipment

Catheters and bed pans. Maybe even diapers.

I think they just have to check them often and have to clean them.

They catheterize your bowel system and bag it.
