A Foley has a tip on it that can be inflated to hold it in place. And if the patient tried to remove Foley without deflating the balloon, bleeding is definitely a possibility. Hope this helps.

Balloon up
Subject: Balloon up
Hello,
Hope everyone is staying warm today! I am looking for help with the term "balloon up." I have searched but have been unable to find if this is the correct term or not.
The Dr. says "he had attempted to remove his Foley catheter at home with a balloon up and with result to worsening of his bleeding".
I am 100% sure that is what he says. I am trying to find the definition or see if it needs to be hyphenated. Thanks for any help. Stay warm.

as opposed to deflating the balloon before removing it. Sometimes patients try to yank them out and don't realize the balloon needs to be deflated first. OUCH!!
