Urinary catheterization increases morbidity threefold. The main hazards of catheterization are tissue damage, bladder damage, infection, encrustation and blockage. Obtaining informed consent before catheterization is extremely important. Restricting catheterization to those who clinically require this invasive procedure can reduce the number of people who are exposed to the hazards of catheterization. The use of silver-coated catheters can reduce the risk of infection and encrustation. Ensuring that practice is evidence-based further reduces the risks of catheterization. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: pictorial Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
