Urinary tract infection in patients with intermittent catheterization
- Urologická klinika 1. LF UK a VFN, Praha
The Clean Intermittent Catheterization (CIC) is the technique of inserting a catheter several times a day by patient himself and emptying of the bladder in cases where the patient does not urinate or urinates with a significant postvoiding residual volume. CIC replaces the permanent insertion of a urinary catheter or epicystostomy and reduces the rate of complications related to a long-term insertion of a catheter, especially the frequency of urinary tract infections, and improves patient's self-care and independance and quality of life without limiting sexual life and sports activities. The most common complication when performing CIC is the occurrence of urinary tract infections. In thise article, we will discuss the most common causes leading to recurrent urinary tract infections and measurements preventing recidives. In the end, we will briefly mention the treatment and possible prevention of urinary tract infections.
Keywords: intermittent cathetrization, neurogenic bladder, postvoiding residual volume, urinary tract infection.
