Fill in the charts below with the common examples used on pages 273-276. The majority of them are eponyms. Also, you will not fill every single box with a name or notes. As always, you may substitute flashcards or similar; these charts are meant to point out the relevant information in your reading. This shouldn’t take more than an hour or two to complete. Keep in mind, for the catheter chart,

Catheter:

CATHETERS / Self-retaining / Notes: / Non-retaining / Notes
urethral / GENERAL: can drain urine, provide irrigation. French sizing. Openings called “eyes.” Bags MUST be below bladder to prevent reflux / Robinson aka “red rubber” or “straight cath” / – straight, plain tip; no bag req’d
Foley – 2 way (port for balloon, urine) or 3 way (balloon, urine, irrigants) / used to measure urine output or provide decompression. Balloon retains. Thermometer may be included. / Coude / rigid, curved tip; no bag req’d
suprapubic / Foley / GENERAL: surgical opening req’d; may be sutured in place
Pezzer/mushroom
Malecot/wing-tip
ureteral (look for “_____” tip) / whistle tip / GENERAL: require cystoscope to place; used to decompress kidney, identify and protect ureters, and/or introduce contrast media
olive tip / GENERAL: ID’d by tip; usually contain radiopaque marker
cone tip
Intravenous catheters / Eponym / Purpose: infuse fluids, obtain diagnosis, monitor body functions, remove thrombi
Venous / “Angio-Cath” – peripheral; Groshong – central
Arterial / none / draw arterial blood for lab study; indwelling to monitor physiological conditions like arterial blood pressure; diagnostic; procedures like coronary artery angioplasty
Balloon-tipped / Fogarty / balloon used to place stents or draw out thrombi or stones
Airway tubes / Purpose
Endotracheal Tube (ET) / maintain patency of upper respiratory tract; passed through nose OR mouth, through the vocal cords, into the trachea
Oral airway / mouth – separates jaws and depresses tongue
Nasal airway / nose – aka “trumpet” – prevents soft palate from obstructing airway
Tracheotomy tube / Placed: via incision directly into neck
3 components: obturator, stylet, tube
GI tube (NOT an airway tube): / used to aspirate fluids and air from GI tract; can go down, up, or through a surgical incision (eg feeding tubes).
sump system / allows air in to equalize pressure and reduce risk of damage while removing fluid
Chest tube (NOT an airway tube): / inserted percutaneously; can be done ipsilaterally so the top removes air and the bottom removes fluids from pleural space. Secured with suture. MUST be below thoracic cavity to prevent reflux.
Passive drains use _gravity to drain / Notes / Active drains use negative pressure / Notes - need a collection device
penrose / latex tube placed in wound for drainage into dressing; uses capillary actin / hemovac / orthopedic where moderate drainage is expected
cigarette / penrose with gauze inside to wick drainage / Jackson-pratt / abdominal w/moderate drainage, or neuro or general
T-tube / placed in biliary system to drain bile into a bile bag / stryker / used in orthopedic procedures, particularly to eliminate dead space
Gastrostomy / inserted through abdominal wall to remove gastric contents or feed
cystostomy / inserted through abdominal wall into bladder; removes urine
nephrostomy / inserted percutaneously into kidney to remove urine
Needle / Purpose “used to…”
Hypodermic / inject medications into tissues or IV tubes
Arterial Venous/cannula / insert indwelling catheters; arterial ones used to acquire ABG or BP readings, venous ones introduce fluids and/or medications (IV bags)
Heparin / irrigate open arteries w/saline-heparin solution during CV procedures
Biopsy / obtain tissue samples
Syringe / irrigate wounds, aspirate fluids, or inject medications
Irrigating syringe / may be bulb; includes Asepto.
