• If necessary, “milk” the tubing that is connected to the urine bag and squeeze the connecting portion of the tubing repeatedly to dislodge any clot / sediment.

Feeding Tube Insertion
Small amount of bleeding may be seen after insertion of feeding tube for patient with tumour along nasopharynx or who are not cooperative where the nurse need several attempts to insert feeding tube.

Urinary Tube Insertion
Small amount of bleeding may be seen after insertion of urinary catheter due to friction of the surrounding tissues. More so if the patient has conditions like enlarged prostate.

Suctioning Procedure
Injury to the mucus membranes may cause bleeding to occur. Using appropriate suction pressure, a water-soluble lubricant and not forcing the catheter can decrease the risk of tissue injury.

In any case if the bleeding continues, please seek medical attention in the hospital.
