Catheterization urinary

Nodular hyperplasia of the prostate is usually associated with a normal serum acid phosphatase activity. Complications such as acute urinary obstruction or prostatic infarction will elevate this serum activity for several days as will cystoscopy and catheterization (98). Digital palpation of the prostate may result in an elevation which subsides within a few hours. 

Urinary catheterization (insertion of a catheter into a patient s bladder an increase in urine output may occur with postrenal obstruction)... 

Two types of urinary tract symptoms are commonly seen in MS incomplete bladder emptying and incontinence. Incomplete bladder emptying is due to dyscoordination of the external urethral sphincter and detrusor activity.14 Most patients who develop this condition require intermittent or permanent uri-I nary catheterization.14 Incontinence in most MS patients is... 

The approach in the setting of a patient with bacteriuria and an indwelling urinary catheter follows two paths. The first, in asymptomatic patients with catheterization, is to hold antibiotics and remove the catheter if possible. The second as in the above-described patient who subsequently becomes symptomatic, antibiotics should then commence with removal of the catheter if possible. In both of the above situations, if discontinuation of the catheter is not possible, the patient should be re-catheterized with a new urinary catheter if the previous catheter is greater than 2 weeks old. 

Determine if the patient would benefit from prophylactic therapy (recurrent UTIs secondary to, for example, chronic urinary catheterization due to paraplegia). 

Postvoid residual urine volume Amount of urine left in the urinary bladder after the patient has been asked to empty the bladder. Assessed by urethral catheterization or ultrasonography. Normal postvoid residual urine volume should be less than 50 mL. An increased postvoid residual urine volume is consistent with incomplete bladder emptying. 

The urinary pathogens in complicated or nosocomial infections may include E. coli, which accounts for less than 50% of these infections, Proteus spp., Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, staphylococci, and enterococci. Candida spp. have become common causes of urinary infection in the critically ill and chronically catheterized patient. 

Effect of CCI4 Intoxication on Water Balance in Rainbow Trout. In studies of water balance the urinary bladder of treated and control animals was catheterized (PE 50 tubing) and individual fish were placed in plexiglass restraining chambers for 24 h to allow urine flow rates to stabilize.

Prophylactic antimicrobial therapy to avoid any secondary infection e.g. pneumonia and infection due to tracheostomy or urinary catheterization. 

During spinal anesthesia, motor paralysis may impair respiratory activity, and residual autonomic nerve blockade can lead to hypotension upon ambulation. Residual autonomic blockade also interferes with bladder function, resulting in urinary retention and the need for bladder catheterization. 

Several age-related changes contribute to the high incidence of infections in geriatric patients. There appears to be a reduction in host defenses in the elderly, manifested in the increase in both serious infections and cancer. This may reflect an alteration in T-lymphocyte function. In the lungs, a major age and tobacco-dependent decrease in mucociliary clearance significantly increases susceptibility to infection. In the urinary tract, the incidence of serious infection is greatly increased by urinary retention and catheterization in men. 

Carefully timed and complete collection of urine is critical to clearance studies. Urine can be collected directly from the ureters (anesthetized preparations) or via repeated catheterization of the urinary bladder in large animals (conscious preparations). Cannulated... 

A 2-year old girl with epilepsy and dyskinetic cerebral palsy due to kemicterus, who was taking carbamaze-pine and valproate, was also given clonazepam 0.05 mg/day and 3 days later developed urinary retention, which did not improve with antibiotic treatment (10). A urine sample obtained by catheterization was sterile. Urinary retention persisted for 10 days, requiring repeated catheterization, but resolved after clonazepam was withdrawn. She was symptom free for the next 6 months. 

A 17-year-old man developed abdominal pain and urinary retention after taking ecstasy the previous evening. He had a tachycardia, mydriasis, and a tender suprapubic mass, which resolved with catheterization. He was discharged the next day. 

Incontinence is common after stroke and may be permanent (Brittain et al. 1998). Catheterization is often required to maintain skin care, at least initially. Urinary infection is common owing to immobility and the use of urinary catheters.

Anaphylaxis after cystoscopy or urinary catheterization has been reported repeatedly (SEDA-18,255) (SEDA-19, 235) (SEDA-20, 225) (52). 

A receding spinal block to level Ll-2 gave rise to acute bradycardia (34-40/minute) and transient loss of consciousness in a 31-year-old man 5 hours after spinal anesthesia on waking he complained of severe low back pain, and although he had no symptoms of urinary retention, urinary catheterization yielded 900 ml of urine with immediate relief of symptoms. 

The diagnosis and treatment of bladder dysfunction and urinary incontinence in horses is rather primitive compared with that in human patients with these problems (Wise Cardozo 1994). In humans, the management of these conditions includes a variety of procedures (e.g. exercises, behavioral therapy and surgery) as well as adjunctive drug treatment. Finally, urine scalding is not a problem in human patients with incontinence because they can either wear protective garments or be taught to self-catheterize.
