Foley catheter insertion drains the bladder through a tube that stays in place. A small balloon holds the catheter inside the bladder. The goal is the same for male and female patients, but the anatomy and common problems are different. Male insertion follows a longer urethra. Female insertion depends on seeing the urethral opening clearly…
Urinary catheterization helps drain or collect urine. It can relieve a full bladder, support certain procedures, or help a clinical team track urine output. It also has risks. A catheter can cause infection, pain, blockage, and urethral injury. These risks rise when the device is used without a clear reason or left in longer than…
A difficult dog blood draw is rarely solved by pushing the needle farther or trying more times. Poor jugular filling, unstable restraint, patient movement, excessive syringe suction, partial needle placement, and an unsuitable collection system can all produce the same frustrating result: no blood, interrupted flow, a damaged sample, or a growing hematoma. This guide…
The external jugular vein is a useful blood-collection site in dogs because it is large, has brisk flow, and can provide an adequate diagnostic sample without using a peripheral vein that may later be needed for an IV catheter. Those advantages only apply when patient selection, restraint, vessel occlusion, needle control, and post-draw pressure are…
A laceration is a tear or split in soft tissue caused by trauma. Some lacerations are straight and clean-looking; others are jagged, crushed, contaminated, or attached to a skin flap. The visible opening is only part of the injury. The same wound may also involve blood vessels, nerves, tendons, joints, or bone. This guide explains…
A heel stick looks simple, but doing it well โ getting enough blood, with minimal pain, and without injuring the baby โ comes down to two things above all: the right site and the right depth. This guide walks through where to puncture, how deep, and the full step-by-step technique for an infant heel stick…
In the first day or two of life, almost every baby has a few drops of blood taken from the heel โ the newborn heel stick (also called a heel prick or heel lance). It looks small but does a big job: it screens for serious but treatable conditions before any symptoms appear. This guide…
If your family has decided on circumcision, knowing what actually happens โ and how to care for your baby afterward โ takes a lot of the worry out of it. This guide walks through how a newborn circumcision is done, the pain relief used, the three common techniques, the healing timeline, and step-by-step aftercare, including…
Deciding whether to circumcise a baby boy is one of the first big choices many new parents face, and it is rarely a purely medical one. This guide lays out what infant circumcision is, the evidence-based benefits and risks, what major medical organizations actually recommend, whether it hurts the baby, and the practical factors that…
Needle decompression (needle thoracostomy) is the emergency procedure that buys time in a tension pneumothorax โ releasing trapped pressure so blood can return to the heart. This guide covers when needle decompression is indicated, the equipment you need, the two recommended insertion sites and which one current evidence favors, a step-by-step technique, and how to…
