STITCH REMOVAL
Stitches are typically removed 7–14 days after injury by a healthcare professional using sterile tweezers and scissors to cut and pull out sutures without dragging external thread through the skin. While sometimes done at home with a kit, professional removal is recommended to prevent infection, scarring, or wound dehiscence. Confirm the healthcare provider's order for removal.
NEBULIZATION
A nebulizer is a machine that converts liquid medication into a fine mist for deep inhalation into the lungs, used to treat conditions like asthma, COPD, and cystic fibrosis. Ideal for patients unable to use inhalers, it delivers medication via a mask or mouthpiece over 5–10 minutes.
CATHETER REMOVAL
Urinary catheter removal involves deflating the retention balloon by withdrawing sterile water from the valve port using a syringe (or cutting, if instructed) and gently pulling it out while the patient exhales. It is usually painless, performed by a professional or at home, and may cause minor, temporary discomfort or light bleeding.
