Résumé
Objective To explore the clinical effect of innovative bladder irrigation on prevention of urinary tract infection in neurogenic bladder patients with clean intermittent catheterization after spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods 40 neurogenic bladder patients with clean in-termittent catheterization after SCI were divided into observation group (n=20) and control group (n=20). The observation group received in-novative bladder irrigation with normal saline 500 ml every other day, and the control group received normal bladder irrigation with normal saline 500 ml every day. Results 4 weeks and 6 weeks after treatment, the incidence of urinary tract infection was lower in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The innovative bladder irrigation method can decrease the rate of urinary tract infec-tion in neurogenic bladder patients with clean intermittent catheterization after SCI.
