Does any nurses have any patients that do the hot style yoga and/or Bikram Yoga?
I am helping out in the PD dept. this week and the new pt. I'm training had been practicing yoga before his failed transplant and fell ill.
Since I am a yogi myself, I was thrilled he wants to continue in his practice, but also worried about infection, catheter migrating, and or dehydration.
I recommended exit site care immediately after, eliminating the "sit-up"and staying well hydrated, He has a good urine output.
I will take any advice if anyone has patients who participate in this style of exercise. I'm thrilled he is motivated to be active but very concerned at the same time. He likes to hike/bike as well, so that's a plus.
Thanks so much for your input in advance.....Namaste'
