In medicine, urinary catheterization is "employment or passage of a catheter into the urinary bladder (urethral catheterization) or kidney (ureteral catheterization) for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes.[1]
Complications
Urinary tract infection
Regarding short-term catheterization:
- antiseptic impregnated catheters reduce urinary tract infections according to a systematic review by the Cochrane Collaboration.[2]
- "condom catheters is less likely to lead to bacteriuria, symptomatic UTI, or death than the use of indwelling catheters. This protection is especially apparent in men without dementia" according to a randomized controlled trial.[3]
Regarding long-term catheterization and prevention of urinary tract infections:
- It is not clear what type of catheterization is best according to at systematic review by the Cochrane Collaboration.[4]
- It is not clear what methods of intermittent catheterization are best according to at systematic review by the Cochrane Collaboration.[5]
