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.

Subject: Could it possibly be THE balloon up? sm
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.
