Question | Answer |
extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) | procedure using ultrasound outside the body to bombard and disintegrate a stone within; most commonly used to treat urinary stones above the bladder |
| |
kidney dialysis | methods of filtering impurities from the blood, replacing the function of one or both kidneys lost in renal failure |
| |
| |
hemodialysis | method of removing impurities by pumping the patient's blood through a dialyzer, the specialized filter of the artificial kidney machine (hemodialyzer) |
| |
| |
peritoneal dialysis | method of removing impurities using the peritoneum as the filter; a catheter inserted in the peritoneal cavity delivers cleansing fluid (dialysate) that is washed in and out in cycles |
| |
| |
urinary catheterization | methods of placing a tube into the bladder to drain or collect urine |
| |
| |
| |
straight catheter | a type of catheter that is inserted through the urethra into the bladder to relieve urinary retention or to collect a sterile specimen of urine for testing; the catheter is removed immediately after the procedure |
| |
| |
| |
Foley catheter | indwelling catheter inserted through the urethra and into the bladder that includes a collection system allowing urine to be drained into a bag; the catheter can remain in place for an extended period |
| |
| |
| |
suprapubic catheter | indwelling catheter inserted directly in the bladder through an abdominal incision above the pubic bone that includes a collection system that allows urine to be drained into a bag; used in patients requiring long-term catheterization |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
analgesic | drug that relieves pain |
| |
antibiotic | drug that kills or inhibits the growth of microorganisms |
| |
| |
antispasmodic | drug that relieves spasm |
| |
diuretic | drug that increases the secretion of urine |
