REGULATION FOR THE COLLECTION OF URINE FOR SEDIMENT AND MICROBIOLOGICAL CULTURE. CLEAN MICCION METHOD
Initiate the process described below when you have the feeling of an overwhelming urge to urinate, generally preferring the first morning urine, when the urinary bladder is filled with urine.
Meticulous washing of the external genitalia is imperative. Rinse with plenty of water and dry thoroughly with a clean towel or cloth.
Collect the urine in a sterile, hermetically sealed bottle.
Neglect the first jet.
Transfer the sample in a vertical position, well covered and quickly to the Laboratory. If there is a delay in the delivery of urine, it is essential to refrigerate (not freeze). In summer, it is useful to wrap the boat in a plastic bag and in turn to put it in another bag with a block of ice, for its correct transfer.
Additional recommendations:
- Although the amount of urine obtained is small, the sample is useful if the precautions described above have been taken.
- Any defective maneuver in the collection process is reason to discard the sample and start the process again.
- Warm soapy water can be used for washing. Repeat operations twice.
- It is recommended to collect the middle portion of the jet of urine, “on the fly”, without stopping urination.
- Do not uncover the bottle until the operation described above starts.
- If the patient’s urine is collected with a permanent catheter, the distal part of the catheter will be pinched and, when sufficient urine has accumulated, the catheter will be collected with a sterile syringe and needle, after disinfecting the catheter’s puncture site with an iodized product.
REGULATION FOR THE COLLECTION OF URINE FOR SEDIMENT AND MICROBIOLOGICAL CULTURE. CHILDREN WITHOUT VOLUNTARY MICROMATION (PEDIATRIC PLASTIC BAG)
Meticulous washing of the external genitalia is imperative.
Use warm soapy water and rinse with plenty of water.
Perform the operation twice and dry very well.
Place the sterile plastic bag tightly attached to the skin.
Be aware of it and immediately remove the bag when urination has occurred.
If an hour has elapsed, it is not possible to collect the urine, discard the bag and start again the entire washing process described in the previous section, and then attach a new bag.
After collection of the urine sample, the laboratory should be urgently referred.
It is essential that the urine is not left at room temperature. Needs refrigeration immediately after collection. Remember that the sample should not be frozen.
One method to keep it cool during the transfer is to wrap it in a plastic bag and in turn to put it in another bag with a block of ice.
To prevent urine from being spilled during transport, the pediatric urine collection bag can be inserted into a sterile plastic bottle. Close it well and refrigerate it.
Although the amount of urine collected is small, it is useful, provided the above precautions have been taken.
