Background/Aim: Difficult urethral catheterization (DUC) is a frequent urological emergency in daily practice. Anticoagulant and antiaggregant drugs, included the treatment protocols for COVID-19, tend to increase risk of possible complications alternative interventions, such as cystoscopy suprapubic percutaneous cystostomy. Therefore, less invasive method needed patients with DUC. This study a...

rates and residual bladder urine volume. These tests require urethral catheterization. The disadvantages of catheterization have been amply described (1,2) and justify the need to develop a method to evaluate the lower urinary tract without recourse to catheter ization. Mulrow and associates (3) used 131I-labeled diodrast to estimate residual bladder urine volume without catheterization. They a...

The use of indwelling urethral catheterization to drain bladder after gynecological and obstetrical surgery is customary. It provides rest to the bladder and avoids urinary retention in the post operative period. Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common nosocomial infections accounting for up to 40% of all hospital acquired infections. Eighty percent of these are associated with ...

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness different simulators for development students’ urethral catheterization skills. 
 Material and Methods: This conducted using a quasi-experimental design with 2nd year nursing students (n=80) at school in Aegean Region Turkey between November December 2018. approved by ethics committee university (Approval Number: 2016-273). Stude...

Eighty-nine (16%) of 543 patients admitted to a chronic care centre in 1983 had an indwelling urethral catheter. Of the 89, 51 patients (57%) received the catheter in a general hospital, 4 (5%) at home and 34 (38%) in the centre. More than half of the catheters that were inserted in the hospital could be removed within 4 weeks of admission to the centre, implying that a more restricted use of i...

Objective: To assess the knowledge and practices regarding safe urinary catheterization among health care workers Study Design: It was a Cross sectional observational study. Methodology: Ninety two were interviewed in hospitals from April 2022 to July 2022. A questionnaire designed about individual departmental of catheterization, including practice hand hygiene, wearing gloves, maintaining ste...

Abstract Purpose Transient postoperative urinary retention (POUR) is common after pelvic floor surgery. We aimed to determine the association between peri-operative variables and POUR number of voids required for post-void residuals (PVRs) normalize postoperatively. Methods conducted a retrospective cohort study 992 patients undergoing surgery at tertiary referral centre from January 2015 Octob...

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are prevalent in the children. Presentation of UTI vary children different ages. In infants, who cannot localize symptoms, can present with a fever whereas older urinary symptoms (dysuria, frequency, incontinence). It is important to establish clear diagnosis order treat and resolve infection antibiotics therapy prevent bacteremia, pyelonephritis, long-tern renal...
