ABSTRACT
Introducción: El cateterismo urinario es un procedimiento frecuente y en ocasiones es utilizado por fuera de las indicaciones aceptadas para el mismo. Esto aumenta el riesgo de complicaciones vinculadas a su uso, por lo que pueden ser prevenibles. El objetivo del estudio es conocer las características del uso de cateterismo urinario en pacientes ingresados en salas de cuidados moderados de un hospital universitario del tercer nivel de atención, determinar la frecuencia, duración e indicaciones más frecuentes, así como evaluar la presencia de complicaciones asociadas al mismo Metodología: Estudio de corte transversal, realizado en salas de cuidados moderados de un hospital terciario y universitario de Montevideo, Uruguay, el 21 de diciembre de 2022. Se incluyeron pacientes hospitalizados que presentaban o presentaron catéter vesical en la presente internación y se completó la recolección de variables mediante la revisión de la historia clínica. Resultados: De 155 pacientes ingresados en salas de cuidados moderados, a 26 (16,7%) les fue colocado un catéter urinario. La mediana de edad fue 61 años, 80% eran de sexo masculino. La mediana de internación fue de 22 días. En todos los pacientes se utilizó sonda vesical y el 54% fue colocado en el Departamento de Emergencia. En el 46% de los pacientes no se encontró indicación escrita de colocación en la historia clínica. En 50% de los casos no está especificado el motivo de indicación de sonda vesical, mientras que las indicaciones identificadas más frecuentes fueron el control de diuresis (27%) y la desobstrucción de vía urinaria baja (23%). La duración de cateterismo fue de una mediana de 13,5 días, mientras que el 27% de los pacientes la usaron más de 30 días. 35% de los pacientes presentaron complicaciones vinculadas a la sonda vesical, en su mayoría no infecciosas (27%) y 15% presentaron infección urinaria. Estos pacientes tuvieron una duración de cateterismo mayor a los que no presentaron complicaciones (23 vs 10 días, p=0,411). Conclusiones: El catéter vesical fue utilizado en un porcentaje no despreciable de pacientes ingresados en salas de cuidados moderados, de forma prolongada y frecuentemente sin indicación precisa, lo cual expone a un riesgo aumentado de complicaciones vinculadas.
Introduction: Urinary catheterization is a frequent procedure and is sometimes used outside of its accepted indications. This increases the risk of complications related to its use, so they may be preventable. The objective of this study is to know the characteristics of the use of urinary catheterization in patients admitted to moderate care wards of a tertiary care university hospital, to determine the frequency, duration and most frequent indications, as well as to evaluate the presence of associated complications. Methodology: Cross-sectional study, carried out in moderate care wards of a tertiary care and university hospital in Montevideo, Uruguay, on December 21, 2022. Hospitalized patients who present or presented a bladder catheter during the present hospitalization were included, and the collection of variables was completed by reviewing the medical history. Results: Of 155 patients admitted to moderate care wards, 26 (16.7%) had a urinary catheter placed. The median age was 61 years, 80% were male. The median hospitalization was 22 days. In all patients a bladder catheter was used and 54% were placed in the Emergency Department. In 46% of the patients, no written indication for placement was found in the clinical history. In 50% of cases, the reason for indicating the bladder catheter is not specified, while the most frequent indications identified were diuresis control (27%) and lower urinary tract obstruction (23%). The duration of catheterization was a median of 13.5 days, while 27% of the patients used it for more than 30 days. 35% of the patients presented complications related to the bladder catheter, mostly non-infectious (27%) and 15% presented urinary tract infection. These patients had a longer duration of catheterization than those without complications (23 vs 10 days, p=0,411). Conclusions: The bladder catheter was used in a non-negligible percentage of patients admitted to moderate care wards, for a long time and often without a precise indication, which exposes them to an increased risk of related complications.
Introdução: O cateterismo urinário é um procedimento frequente e às vezes é usado fora de suas indicações aceitas. Isso aumenta o risco de complicações relacionadas ao seu uso, portanto, podem ser evitáveis. O objetivo deste estudo é conhecer as características do uso do cateterismo urinário em pacientes internados em enfermarias de cuidados moderados de um hospital universitário terciário, determinar a frequência, duração e indicações mais frequentes, bem como avaliar a presença de complicações associadas ao mesmo. Metodologia: Estudo transversal, realizado em quartos de cuidados moderados de um hospital terciário e universitário em Montevidéu, Uruguai, em 21 de dezembro de 2022. Foram incluídos pacientes que apresentaram ou apresentaram sonda vesical durante a internação atual e a coleta de variáveis ââfoi concluída .revisando o histórico médico. Resultados: Dos 155 pacientes admitidos em enfermarias de cuidados moderados, 26 (16,7%) tiveram um cateter urinário colocado. A idade média foi de 61 anos, 80% eram do sexo masculino. A mediana de internação foi de 22 dias. Em todos os doentes foi utilizada sonda vesical e 54% foram internados no Serviço de Urgência. Em 46% dos pacientes, nenhuma indicação escrita para colocação foi encontrada na história clínica. Em 50% dos casos não é especificado o motivo da indicação da sonda vesical, enquanto as indicações mais frequentes identificadas foram controle da diurese (27%) e desobstrução do trato urinário inferior (23%). A duração do cateterismo foi em média de 13,5 dias, enquanto 27% dos pacientes o utilizaram por mais de 30 dias. 35% dos pacientes apresentaram complicações relacionadas ao cateter vesical, em sua maioria não infecciosas (27%) e 15% apresentaram infecção urinária. Esses pacientes tiveram uma duração mais longa de cateterismo do que aqueles sem complicações (23 vs 10 dias, p=0,411). Conclusões: A sonda vesical foi utilizada em percentual não desprezível de pacientes internados em quartos de cuidados moderados, por tempo prolongado e muitas vezes sem indicação precisa, o que os expõe a um risco aumentado de complicações associadas.
ABSTRACT
Resumen Objetivo: Determinar los factores asociados, las características clínicas, microbiológicas y perfiles de resistencia en las infecciones sintomáticas de tracto urinario asociado a catéter (ISTU-AC) en los dos Instituciones de alto nivel de complejidad. Materiales y métodos: Se llevó a cabo un estudio de casos y controles. Se incluyeron todos los pacientes con más de 48 horas de hospitalización con inserción de catéter urinario y se recolectaron todas las variables clínicas y microbiológicas de cada paciente. Se incluyeron 446 pacientes, 223 con infección sintomática del tracto urinario asociado a catéter. El análisis multivariado se realizó por medio de regresión logística. Resultados: Se evidenció una mayor proporción de hombres en los controles (60,5%) en comparación con los casos (51,1%), la mediana de la edad fue muy similar para los dos grupos de estudio. Se evidenció por el análisis de regresión logística multivariado que la estancia en UCI (OR 2,176; IC de 95% 1,332 - 3,555), más de 10 días de catéter urinario (OR 2,907; IC de 95% 1,744 - 4,846) y la terapia antibiótica previa (OR 0,060; IC de 95% 0,037 - 0,103) fueron los principales factores asociados con la ocurrencia de ISTU-AC. No se encontró asociación entre presentar el evento de interés y la edad, esta variable no está relacionada con la pre sencia de infecciones intrahospitalarias. Es probable que las comorbilidades, presentes con más frecuencia en el adulto mayor, hayan sobrepasado el efecto de la edad en esos estudios. La asociación con género no fue identificada como un factor de riesgo, lo cual podría esperarse, dado que el uso de la sonda vesical hace equiparable el riesgo entre los hombres y las mujeres. Conclusiones: Este estudio mostró que la infecciones sintomáticas de tracto urinario asociado a catéter sigue siendo la entidad más frecuente) en el ámbito hospi talario, poniendo en riesgo la seguridad de los pacientes y aumentando tanto las tasas de morbi-mortalidad
Summary Objective: To determine the associated factors, clinical and microbiological characteristics, and resistance profiles in symptomatic urinary tract infections associated with catheters in the two institutions with a high level of complexity. Materials and methods: A case-control study was carried out. All patients with more than 48 hours of hospitalization with urinary catheter insertion were included and all the clinical and microbiological variables of each patient were collected. 446 patients were included, 223 with symptomatic urinary tract infection associated with a catheter. The multivariate analysis was carried out by means of logistic regression. Results: A greater proportion of men was evidenced in the controls (60.5%) compared to the cases (51.1%), the median age was very similar for the two study groups. It was evidenced by the multivariate logistic regression analysis that the stay in the ICU (OR 2.176; 95% CI 1.322 - 3.555), more than 10 days of urinary catheter (OR 2.907; 95% CI 1.744 - 4.846) and antibiotic therapy previous (OR 0.060; 95% CI 0.037 - 0.103) were the main factors associated with the occurrence of CA-UTI. No association was found between presenting the event of interest and age, this variable is not related to the presence of intrahospital infections. Co morbidities, which are more frequently present in the elderly, are likely to have outweighed the effect of age in these studies. The association with gender was not identified as a risk factor, which could be expected, since the use of the urinary catheter makes the risk comparable between men and women. Conclusions: This study showed that symptomatic urinary tract infections associated with catheters are still a frequent entity in the hospital setting, putting the safety of patients at risk and increasing both morbidity and mortality rates
ABSTRACT
Abstract Objective To evaluate the differences between bladder emptying options (permanent catheterization and intermittent bladder emptying/spontaneous urination) regarding the effects on labor length, need of operative vaginal deliveries, and cesarean section rate. Data Sources The search was conducted in MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases. Selection of Studies The survey returned 964 studies. A total of 719 studies were evaluated by title and abstract, of which 4 were selected for inclusion. Data Collection All references were inserted in the Rayyan QCRI tool (Rayyan Systems Inc., Cambridge, MA, USA). The full text of the selected articles was obtained so we could later decide whether or not to include them in this systematic review. Data Synthesis No differences were found in the number of instrumented deliveries or in cesarean section rate between groups. Conclusions After evaluating the studies performed on the topic, we concluded that there is no clear advantage to either method, although continuous catheterization was associated with a greater occurrence of eutocic births. In the remaining outcomes, there were no differences between catheterization types.

INTRODUCCIÓN: El piometra es una afección infrecuente, pero grave, que en general se diagnostica en mujeres posmenopáusicas. En adolescentes es sumamente raro, y si se acompaña de amenorrea primaria hay que tener en mente las anomalías congénitas. CASO CLÍNICO: Adolescente de 13 años, sin antecedentes personales de interés salvo amenorrea primaria, que acude con abdomen agudo y es intervenida por una peritonitis difusa causada por un piometra secundario a disgenesia (estenosis) cervical congénita. Se realizó dilatación cervical y se dejó una sonda vesical intrauterina para prevenir la reestenosis. CONCLUSIONES: Un diagnóstico precoz y un tratamiento conservador con dilatación cervical y colocación temporal de un catéter urinario son esenciales para un manejo seguro y efectivo de la estenosis cervical en adolescentes.
INTRODUCTION: Pyometra is an uncommon but serious condition that is generally diagnosed in postmenopausal women. In adolescents it is extremely rare; if accompanied by primary amenorrhea, consider congenital abnormalities. CASE REPORT: A 13-year-old adolescent, with no relevant personal history except primary amenorrhea, who presented with an acute abdomen and was operated on for diffuse peritonitis caused by pyometra secondary to congenital cervical dysgenesis (stenosis). Cervical dilation was performed and a urinary catheter was temporarily placed inside the uterus to prevent restenosis. CONLUSIONS: An early diagnosis and conservative treatment with cervical dilation and temporary placement of a urinary catheter are essential for the safe and effective management of cervical stenosis in adolescents.

@#Objective To explore the independent risk factors for postoperative retention of urinary catheters in the ward of lung tumor patients due to urinary retention under the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). Methods Seventy-five patients with lung tumors who had urinary catheters left in the postoperative ward between June 2019 and August 2019 were selected as a case group, and 75 patients with lung tumors who did not have urinary catheters in the perioperative period as a control group. Independent risk factors for indwelling urinary catheters in the postoperative ward were screened by univariate and multiple-variate logistic stepwise regression analysis. Results There were 45 males and 30 females in the case group with an average age of 55.33±10.78 years, 28 males and 47 females in the control group with an average age of 57.12±10.06 years. Univariate analysis showed that gender, operative time>2 h, intraoperative fluid volume≥1 200 mL, and fluid volume within 6 h of returning to the ward after surgery>1 200 mL were associated with the occurrence of indwelling urinary catheters in patients with lung tumors in postoperative wards (P<0.05). Multiple-variate logistic regression showed that male (OR=2.311, 95%CI 1.173-4.552, P=0.015), infusion volume within 6 h of returning to the ward after surgery>1 200 mL (OR=2.491, 95%CI 1.149-5.401, P=0.021) and intraoperative infusion volume≥1 200 mL (OR=2.105, 95%CI 1.022-4.340, P=0.044) were independent risk factors for postoperative retention of urinary catheters in patients with lung tumors. Conclusion The occurrence of indwelling urinary catheter in lung tumor patients under the ERAS concept is the result of a combination of factors, and patients who are male, have infusion volume>1 200 mL within 6 h of returning to the ward after surgery, and have intraoperative infusion volume≥1 200 mL are the high-risk group for postoperative ward indwelling urinary catheter, and health care personnel should strengthen the assessment and observation, provide targeted health education, appropriately control the perioperative fluid volume, and take other measures to reduce the occurrence of indwelling urinary catheters due to urinary retention postoperatively in ward.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of continuous infusion of lidocaine via urinary catheter for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing urological surgery.Methods:Forty male American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients, aged 65-75 yr, with body mass index of 18-25 kg/m 2, scheduled for elective percutaneous nephrolithotomy, were divided into 2 groups ( n=20 each) using a random number table method: continuous infusion of lidocaine through urinary catheter group (group L) and patient controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) group (group PCIA). All the patients underwent total intravenous anesthesia, and a matched type of sterile urethral irrigation catheter was inserted after the operation.In group L, 0.5% lidocaine was continuously infused at a rate of 5 ml/h via the urinary catheter, while the equal volume of 0.9% normal saline was continuously infused via the urinary catheter, and PCIA was connected in group PCIA.PCIA solution contained sufentanil 125 μg (diluted to 250 ml in normal saline), and the PCA pump was set up with a 5 ml bolus dose, a 15 min lockout interval and background infusion at a rate of 5 ml/h.When visual analogue score was>4, sufentanil 0.05 μg/kg was injected intravenously as rescue analgesic.The development and severity of catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD) were recorded immediately at the end of the operation (T 1), and at 6 h (T 2), 24 h (T 3) and 48 h (T 4) after the operation, respectively.Riker sedation-agitation scale (SAS) score was recorded at T 1, 2, and QoR-9 scale was recorded at T 3, 4.The concentrations of serum cortisol (Cor), norepinephrine (NE), epinephrine (E) and blood glucose (Glu) were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.First off-bed time, exhaust time, length of hospital stay after surgery, and the requirement for rescue analgesia and adverse reactions (nausea and vomiting, respiratory depression, hypotension, skin itching) within 48 h after the operation were recorded. Results:Compared with group PCIA, the incidence of CRBD and the severity were significantly decreased at T 1-4, SAS score was decreased at T 1, 2, QoR-9 score was increased at T 3, 4, Cor, NE, E and Glu concentrations were decreased at T 1-4, the incidence of postoperative rescue analgesia was decreased, first off-bed time, exhaust time and length of hospital stay after surgery was shortened, and the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, respiratory depression, hypotension, skin itching was decreased in group L ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Continuous infusion of lidocaine through the urinary catheter can provide good postoperative analgesia, reduce postoperative stress response and adverse reactions, and facilitate early postoperative recovery in patients undergoing urological surgery.
ABSTRACT
Aims@#Biofilm formation of bacteria inside the surface of urinary catheters triggers severe urinary tract infections (UTIs). This study aims to determine the biofilm forming capacity of bacteria isolated from urinary catheters of patients diagnosed with UTIs as well as comparison of antibiotic sensitivity patterns between biofilm and non-biofilm forming isolates.@*Methodology and results@#A total of 40 urinary catheters were collected from 96 h catheterized patients. The isolated uropathogenic bacteria were identified and examined for biofilm formation using the microtiter plate method. Later, the isolates were subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility towards 12 antibiotics that commonly used for treating UTIs using the disk diffusion method. All the catheters were found colonized with two to five different bacterial species individually. Out of the 131 isolates from 40 catheters, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (38/131, 29%) was the predominant isolated bacteria followed by Escherichia coli (31/131, 24%), Proteus vulgaris (24/131, 18%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (21/131, 16%) and Staphylococcus aureus (17/131, 13%). Among these, the highest biofilm forming capacity was observed in P. aeruginosa (26%), followed by P. vulgaris (16%) and K. pneumoniae (13%). Regarding antibiotic resistance, biofilm forming bacteria showed resistance to multiple drugs except for carbapenems. Moreover, biofilm formers exhibited higher resistance than non-biofilm formers against antibiotics such as trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (100% vs 82%), amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (81% vs 55%), cefixime (85% vs 55%), ceftriaxone (81% vs 45%), cefalexin (93% vs 55%), amikacin (70% vs 45%), ampicillin (89% vs 73%), ciprofloxacin (70% vs. 36%) and ceftriaxone (81 vs 45%), (p-value<0.05). @*Conclusion, significance and impact of study@#Most of the isolated uropathogenic bacteria from catheters were biofilm formers and multiple antibiotic resistant. Appropriate selection of antibiotics, meticulous hygiene practices in hospital settings and limiting the duration of catheterization can reduce biofilm formation and the emergence of antibiotic resistance.

ABSTRACT
RESUMEN Introducción: con el incremento de la esperanza de vida al nacer, la morbimortalidad en la población geriátrica es alta, y con ello la necesidad de atención médica especializada, que incluye los cuidados intensivos. Objetivo: caracterizar a la población geriátrica que ingresó en una Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI) Municipal. Materiales y método: se realizó un estudio de corte transversal en el Hospital General Docente "Orlando Pantoja Tamayo" en el municipio Contramaestre. El universo estuvo constituido por 658 pacientes de ambos sexos, con edades mayor e igual a 60 años. En el período de enero de 2015 a diciembre de 2018, admitidos en la UCI. Las variables estudiadas fueron edad, sexo, principales diagnósticos al ingreso, ventilación mecánica, procederes invasivos, estado del paciente al egreso y complicaciones. Se utilizó el porcentaje para resumir la información, así como el test Ji cuadrado para identificar asociación estadística entre las variables estudiadas. Resultados: predominó el sexo masculino en 51,8 % y 50,3 % tenían edades entre 60 y 74 años. 73,1 % tuvo estadía inferior a siete días. Predominaron las patologías cardiovasculares. El porcentaje de fallecidos 26,3 %, 58,5 % se le implantó sonda vesical y 63,0 % de pacientes necesitaron de ventilación mecánica invasiva. Prevalecieron los ingresos por enfermedades clínicas. Conclusión: los pacientes geriátricos del sexo masculino ingresaron con más frecuencia en terapia intensiva. Predominó el grupo de edades 60 - 74 años. Las enfermedades clínicas cardiovasculares y respiratorias fueron las más frecuentes, la mayoría de pacientes que fallecieron necesitaron ventilación mecánica invasiva (AU).
ABSTRACT Introduction: with the increase in life expectancy at birth, morbidity and mortality are high among geriatric population, and so are the needs for specialized medical care, including the intensive care. Objective: to characterize the geriatric population admitted in a Municipal Intensive Care Unit. Materials and Method: a cross-sectional study was carried out at the Teaching General Hospital "Orlando Pantoja Tamayo" in the municipality of Contramaestre. The universe was formed by 658 patients of both sexes, aged 60 years and older, during the period from January 2015 to December 2018, admitted in the Intensive Care Unit. The studied variables were age, sex, main diagnoses at admission; mechanical ventilation; invasive procedures; patient status at discharge and complications. The percentage was used to summarize the information, as well as the Chi square test to identify statistical association between the variables studied. Results: male sex predominated in 51.8%, and 50.3 % were aged 60 - 74 years old. 73.1% had a stay of less than seven days; cardiovascular diseases predominated. 26.3% of patients died, 58.5% received a bladder catheter implantation. 63.0% of patients required invasive mechanical ventilation. Admittance due to clinical diseases prevailed. Conclusion: male geriatric patients were more frequently admitted in intensive care; the 60-74 years-old age group prevailed; cardiovascular and respiratory clinical diseases were the most frequent; most of the dead patients needed invasive mechanical ventilation (AU).

Introduction: Catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) is the most common health care associated infection (HAI), accounting for 40% of all HAIs in particularly in patients admitted to intensive care units (ICU) due to their more frequent necessity of urinary catheterization and longer duration of catheter use. Knowledge about Microbiological profile and antimicrobial sensitivity pattern of CAUTI is essential to implement the infection control system in a proper manner.Aims and objectives: To study the rate and microbiological profile of catheter associated urinary tract infections and in patients admitted in Intensive Care Units.Materials and methods: A one-year prospective study was conducted in which urine samples were collected from patients admitted in Medical ICUs on indwelling urinary catheter for >48 hours and processed in Microbiology Department according to standard procedures. CA-UTI rate was calculated and their microbiological profile and various resistance patterns were studied as per CLSI guidelines.Results: Out of 1406 enrolled patients, 64 patients developed CAUTI. Overall CAUTI rate was 4.06/1000 catheter days. Most common isolate in CAUTI cases was Klebsiella spp. (32.3%), followed by Escherichia coli (24.6%). Gram negative isolates showed higher sensitivity to aminoglycosides, imipenam and nitrofurantoin as compared to cephalosporins The Enterococcus spp. were 100% sensitive to linezolid and 71.4% sensitive to both vancomycin and teicoplanin.Conclusion: CAUTI rate in our ICUs was high compared to the benchmarks. Antibiotic sensitivity pattern of the pathogens involved was also low. This study provides the data of predisposing risk factors and its causative microbial flora for CAUTI in our tertiary care.

@#Objective To investigate the occurrence of indwelling urinary catheter in patients receiving thoracoscopic lobectomy and relevant risk factors. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of the 737 patients who received thoracoscopic lobectomy in our hospital and analyzed the risk factors of indwelling urinary catheter during postoperative hospitalization using univariate analysis and multiple-variate logistic regression analysis between December 2018 and May 2019. There were 253 males and 484 females at median age of 57 (50, 64) years. Results A percentage of 14.4% (106/737) of the patients adopted postoperative indwelling urinary catheter. Univariate regression analysis showed that gender and postoperative bedridden time were risk factors for indwelling urinary catheter in the patients after thoracoscopic lobectomy (P<0.05). Multiple-variate logistic regression analysis showed that male gender (OR=2.018, 95% CI 1.316-3.096, P<0.001) and postoperative bedridden time >18 hours (OR=2.298, 95%CI 1.502-3.516, P<0.001) were the independent risk factors for indwelling urinary catheter. Conclusion Male gender and those with longer postoperative bedridden time are high-risk population to indwell urinary catheter. Positive measures should be taken to reduce the chance of indwelling urinary catheter.
ABSTRACT
Clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) is one of the core elements of neurogenic bladder management in the patients with spinal cord injury and is effective and safe to maintain low intra-bladder pressure and achieve urinary continence. Until now, the most notable development in urinary catheter products for CIC is the introduction of hydrophilic coating. Fortunately, in Korea, the national medical insurance has recently covered the cost for urinary catheters in this patient group. The purpose of this review is to summarize the history of CIC and the recent development of urinary catheter products. From our review, we would like to suggest a way of thinking that is the way forward for the future to improve the implementation of CIC with minimal morbidity.

ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of immediate and delayed postoperative removal of urethral catheters Methods Randomized controlled trials and quasi-experiment trails of immediate and delayed postoperative removal of urethral catheters were collected in the databases such as CENTRAL, PubMed, OVID, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), China Biology Medicine disc (CBM), VIP, Wanfang Data, etc. Data were analyzed by RevMan 5.3 version.after heterogeneity analysis,pooled risk ratio (RR) with 95%confidence interval (95%CI) using both fixed and random effect models were estimated. Results Ten randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included. The results of Meta-analysis indicated that immediate urinary catheter removal was associated with a lower incidence of urinary tract infections (RR=0.29, 95%CI 0.15 to 0.56, P=0.000 3), positive urinary culture (RR=0.31,95%CI 0.16 to 0.59, P=0.000 2) compared with the delayed removal group and seven studies recommended removal of the indwelling urinary catheter immediately after hysterectomy. While, there was a higher risk of re-catheterization (RR=4.56, 95%CI 2.93 to 7.08, P<0.01)in the immediate removal group. Seven studies recommended removal of the indwelling urinary catheter immediately after hysterectomy. Conclusions Removal of the indwelling urinary catheter immediately after hysterectomy was recommended.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: The reduction of orbital blowout fracture primarily aims to normalize the extra-ocular movement by returning the herniated orbital soft tissue into the original position, and to prevent enophthalmos by normalizing the orbital cavity volume. We introduce a balloon catheter-assisted orbital floor reduction technique. METHODS: A retrospective review was performed for all patients with orbital floor fracture who underwent the technique described in the main body of this text. Medical records were reviewed for demographic data, clinical presentation and course, degree of enophthalmos, intraorbital volume on computed tomography scan, and postoperative outcomes. The enophthalmos and intraorbital volume of the injured site were compared to the uninjured eye and orbit. RESULTS: The review identified 14 patients (11 male, 3 female). The mean preoperative difference in en-exopthalmos was 2.13 mm, while the mean orbital volume was 116%. The mean postoperative difference in en-exophthalmos had improved to 0.61 mm with a mean orbital volume of 101.85%. At the time of catheter removal at 10 days, three patients experienced diplopia (n=1), extra-ocular movement disorder (1), or enophthalmos (1). All of these had resolved by the 6-month follow-up visit. CONCLUSION: Balloon catheter-assisted reduction of the orbital floor fractures was associated with improvements in intraorbital volume and enopthalmos in the 14 patients. Notable complications included diplopia, enophthalmos, and limited extra-ocular movement, all of which were transient in the early postoperative period and had resolved by 6-month follow up.
