Twisted fate of bladder catheters.

چکیده
Catheter knotting is a rare complication of bladder catheterisation. Retention of catheter parts resulting in calculus formation is even rarer. We report a case of a vesical calculus formed over a broken and retained supra-pubic catheter which to the best of our knowledge has yet to be reported, along with three other cases of bladder catheter knotting.

متن کاملEffects of aerobic exercise on depression: a controlled study.
Rejection of catheters is generally thought to be due to patients pulling out their catheters, but we found circumstantial evidence for this in only one third of cases. Some catheters with smaller balloons drop out spontaneously, perhaps owing to laxity of the pelvic floor or urethral dilatation caused by repeated catheterisation, and others are expelled forcibly, presumably owing to uninhibite...
متن کاملControl of encrustation and blockage of Foley catheters.
Urinary catheters often become encrusted and blocked by crystalline Proteus mirabilis biofilms. Results of experiments in a laboratory model of a Foley catheterised bladder infected with P mirabilis showed that when retention balloons were inflated with a solution of triclosan (10 g/L), the catheters drained freely for at least 7 days. Triclosan became impregnated throughout the silicone cathet...
متن کاملMicrobiology Misconceptions Bacteriuria in Patients with Neurogenic Bladder and/or Indwelling Catheters
Patients with neurogenic bladder and/or indwelling catheters are overtreated for urinary tract infection (UTI) due to the presence of asymptomatic bacteriuria (bacteria in urine). Colonizing bacteria in these patients often develop resistance to antibiotics, making treatment challenging if the patient develops an infection at a later point in time. Patients with indwelling chronic catheters oft...
