RESUMEN
Objective To explore the best methods of catheterization in patients with neurogenic bladder using clean intermittent self-catheterization. Methods From December, 2014 to December, 2015, sixty patients with neurogenic bladder were equally divided into observation group who were taught the non-contact clean intermittent self-catheterization, and control group who were taught routine clean intermittent self-catheterization. Their materials, times to learn, and the incidence of catheter contamination and urinary tract infection were compared. Results The observation group mastered the catheterization in fewer times of learning than the control group (Z=-4.400, P<0.001). The incidence of catheter contamination (χ2=5.880, P=0.015) and urinary tract infection (χ2=4.043, P=0.044) were less in the observa-tion group than in the control group. Conclusion Non-contact clean intermittent catheterization is beneficial to manage neurogenic bladder.
RESUMEN
@#Objective To explore the efficacy of process management on bladder function among traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients admitted to intensive rehabilitation and care unit (IRCU). Methods 33 cases were collected to control group who were cared with routing nursing during February, 2011 to December, 2012. Other 39 cases were recruited to trial group cared with process management of bladder function during January, 2013 to December, 2014. Process management of bladder function contained the establishment of process manage-ment guide, evaluation of removing catheter, nursing of bladder based on residue of urine volume and keeping a diary of urination, etc. Re-sults There were more cases with residue of urine volume less than 100 ml and less with catheter associated urinary tract infection in the tri-al group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Process management of bladder function can improve the recovery of bladder func-tion of TBI patients, shorten rehabilitation time and decrease the risk of catheter associated urinary tract infection.
