Catheter Gauge at Thomas Schmalz blog

Catheter Gauge. A universal gauge system was developed to make it easier for patients around the world to determine which size catheter they need. Gauge (g) is quite different and more commonly used for peripheral iv sizing. It is called the french size system, and it is based on the outer diameter of the catheter. An increasing gauge size implies a decreasing diameter. 28 rows the french scale, french gauge or charrière system is commonly used to measure the size of a catheter. This table compares french sizing to gauges for catheters with flow rates. All internal urinary catheters, including foley catheters and intermittent catheters, are sized by a universal gauge system. •daily review of the catheter in acute care (ips 2017) •at least every catheter change in long term catheterization (ips 2017) •address risk factors. This gauge system is known as a french size, which is based upon a measurement of the external diameter of the catheter tube. By convention, peripheral iv catheters are sized in gauge, and central venous catheters (cvcs) are sized in french.
