### 🩺 Abdominal Examination Summary (Normal Findings)
> On general inspection, the patient appeared comfortable at rest with no signs of distress. There were no features of jaundice, pallor, dehydration, or cachexia. Or dysmorphic features
> On abdominal inspection, the abdomen was flat and symmetrical with no distension. There were no scars, striae, dilated veins, visible masses, or visible peristalsis. The umbilicus was centrally positioned and normal.
> On palpation, the abdomen was soft and non-tender in all quadrants, with no guarding or rigidity. No masses were palpable. The liver edge was not enlarged and non-tender
The liver span is ( )
. The spleen and kidneys were not palpable. The abdominal aorta was centrally located and of normal width.
No palpable para aortic lymph nodes
> On percussion, the abdomen was predominantly tympanic with no shifting dullness. Liver span was normal and there was no evidence of splenic enlargement
> On auscultation, bowel sounds were present and normal in frequency and character. No abdominal bruits were heard.
.
> Hernial orifices were intact with no hernias detected.
Abdominal exam
👉 Wash hands
👉 Position patient at 45°
👉 Expose from nipples to groin
👉 Ask about pain before touching

## 👀 General Inspection
> I will start with a general inspection of the patient.
* Level of comfort or distress
* Body build and nutritional status
* Jaundice
* Pallor
* Hydration status
* Presence of lines, drains, or medical devices
---
## 🔍 Inspection of the Abdomen
> I will now inspect the abdomen.
Look for:
* Shape: flat, distended, scaphoid
* Symmetry
* Scars
* Dilated veins
* Striae
* Hernias
* Visible masses
* Visible peristalsis
* Pulsations
> I will also inspect the umbilicus for any hernia, inflammation, or discharge.
---
## ✋ Palpation
### 🔹 Light Palpation
> I will start with light palpation, away from any painful area.
Check for:
* Tenderness
* Guarding
* Rigidity
* Superficial masses
---
### 🔹 Deep Palpation
> Now deep palpation in all quadrants.
Assess for:
* Deep tenderness
* Masses
* Organ enlargement
---
### 🫀 Liver Palpation
> I will palpate for the liver starting from the right iliac fossa moving upwards.
Note:
* Size
* Edge (smooth or irregular)
* Tenderness
---
### 🩸 Spleen Palpation
> I will palpate for the spleen from the right iliac fossa diagonally towards the left costal margin.
---
### 🫘 Kidneys (Bimanual Palpation)
> I will ballot the kidneys.
---
### 🤚 Aortic Palpation
> I will palpate for the abdominal aorta and assess its width.
---
## 🥁 Percussion
> I will now percuss the abdomen.
* General percussion (tympanic or dull)
* Liver span
* Splenic dullness
* Shifting dullness (ascites)
---
## 🎧 Auscultation
* Bowel sounds (presence, frequency, character)
* High-pitched sounds → obstruction
* Absent sounds → ileus/peritonitis
> I would also listen for bruits over the aorta and renal arteries.
---
## 👖 Hernial Orifices
> I would examine the hernial orifices.
---
## 🍑 Rectal Examination
> If indicated, I would perform a digital rectal examination.

# 🚼 Urinary Catheterization (Pediatrics)
Urinary catheterization = insertion of a sterile tube into the bladder via urethra to drain urine.
---
## ✅ Indications
### 🔹 Monitoring
* Accurate urine output (shock, ICU, burns)
* Post major surgery
### 🔹 Diagnostic
* Sterile urine sample (infants)
* Imaging (VCUG)
* Urinary retention evaluation
### 🔹 Therapeutic
* Acute urinary retention
* Neurogenic bladder
* Obstruction (posterior urethral valves, stones)
* Bladder decompression
---
## 🚫 Contraindications
Do NOT catheterize if urethral injury suspected:
* Blood at urethral meatus
* Pelvic fracture
* Perineal bruising
👉 Risk of false passage → do suprapubic catheter
---
## 📏 Catheter Size (French)
Use smallest effective size.
| Age | Size |
| ------------ | -------- |
| Preterm | 3.5–5 Fr |
| Term neonate | 5–6 Fr |
| Infant | 6–8 Fr |
| Toddler | 8 Fr |
| School-age | 8–10 Fr |
| Adolescent | 10–12 Fr |
---
## 🛠️ Types
| Type | Use |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| Straight catheter | In-and-out (sample) |
| Foley catheter | Indwelling, balloon holds in bladder |
| Suprapubic | When urethral route contraindicated |
---
## 🧰 Equipment
Sterile gloves, catheter, lubricant, antiseptic, syringe (balloon), drainage bag, drapes.
---
## 👶 Positioning
| Sex | Position |
| ------ | ------------------ |
| Female | Frog-leg |
| Male | Supine, legs apart |
---
## 🚑 Procedure
### 1️⃣ Preparation
* Explain to parent/child
* Hand hygiene
* Sterile field
---
### 2️⃣ Cleaning
Female
* Separate labia
* Clean front → back
Male
* Retract foreskin (if uncircumcised)
* Clean circular from meatus outward
---
### 3️⃣ Insertion
Female
* Insert upward & backward
* When urine appears → advance 1–2 cm → inflate balloon
Male
* Hold penis 60–90°
* Insert slowly
* Advance to bifurcation → inflate balloon
⚠️ Never inflate balloon if no urine return.
---
## ✔️ Confirmation
* Urine flow
* No pain during balloon inflation
* Able to flush
---
## 📌 Securing & Care
* Secure to thigh
* Bag below bladder
* Closed system
* Daily hygiene
* Remove ASAP
---
## ⚠️ Complications
### Immediate
* Trauma/bleeding
* Pain
* False passage
### Late
* UTI (most common)
* Urethral stricture
* Bladder spasms
* Paraphimosis
---
## 🚨 Red Flags After Insertion
* No urine output
* Severe pain
* Blood in urine
* Leakage around catheter
* Fever
---
## 🧠 Key Exam Points
✔ Smallest catheter possible
✔ Sterile technique
✔ Advance before balloon inflation
✔ Replace foreskin after procedure
✔ Early removal prevents infection
---
## 💡 Memory Aid — “FOLEY”
Fluid monitoring
Obstruction relief
Look for infection
Ensure sterile technique
Yank out early (remove ASAP)
