Filter by:The Catheter Science M3 "Mini Catheter" has been developed for management of urinary retention. This temporary device allows for normal functioning of the external striated sphincter. The design contributes to its atraumatic insertion and removal. It is a short catheter segment which is attached to a monofilament suture which runs thru the lumen of the urethra and is attached to a small plastic "bobber". This study is designed to validate the reduction in these adverse effects: The suture to the outside allows for repositioning should the device slip back into the bladder and facilitates removal. With volitional voiding and competent external sphincter, patients are able to void spontaneously without the need of a collection device and are continent. The design enhances the flow characteristics and reduces post void residual. Since the M3 does not have a tubular segment thru the tip of the penis or sphincter, biofilm production is eliminated.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of peppermint oil to promote voiding and reduce urinary catheterization among postpartum women.
Post operative urinary retention ( POUR) is caused by sympathetic activation of the internal urethral sphincter after surgery. The smooth muscles of the around the internal urethral sphincter have been demonstrated to be rich in alpha-1 adrenergic receptors. Our research idea is novel because there has been no prior prospective study conducted using alpha-blockers to reduce post-operative urinary retention in patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair. The proposed research is important as existing studies that sought to understand POUR have merely established the risks factors involved. Despite so, the incidence of POUR remains high and no studies to date have investigated the use of specific interventions to reduce the risk of POUR. This is essential as patients who develop POUR have also been successfully shown to have significantly longer length of hospitalisation. Besides, the development of POUR can also cause significant pain/discomfort, increase risks of long-term urethral catheterisation and predispose patients to urinary tract infections
Post-operative urinary retention (POUR) is a frequent complication reported as ranging from 10 to 55% in the literature. In a recent retrospective study from Laliberte et al in Quebec City, we observed that 19% of the patients operated using transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) had a post-operative urinary retention (POUR). Factors related to the patient, the tumor and the surgery were not observed to be associated risk factors. Tamsulosin has been shown as an effective preventive agent of POUR for certain ano-rectal and inguinal surgeries. The efficacy of this prophylactic therapy in transanal endoscopic microsurgery has not been studied yet and is unclear considering the particularities of this procedure. TEM uses a rigid proctoscope of four centimeters of diameter and creates a continuous pneumorectum (insufflation of the rectum during all the procedure). We think that these two elements, which cause local inflammation, may be part of the reason explaining the high incidence of post-operative urinary retention after TEM procedures. The objective of our multicenter clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of perioperative tamsulosin for the reduction of POUR in men, as well as the impact on the interventions and hospital admissions related to this complication.
There has been preliminary data showing that pyridium can decrease the risk of difficulty urinating after midurethral sling. This study is designed to have two groups of patients. One group will receive pyridium pre-operatively, while the other group will have routine preoperative care. Both groups will have their bladder tested prior to going home. It will be evaluated if there is a difference in the difficulty to urinate post-operatively in both groups.
This VA QUERI Partnered Evaluation Initiative will evaluate the impact of an immersive Point-of-care Ultrasound (POCUS) Training Course on provider skill acquisition and retention; the frequency of POCUS use by trained providers; and the barriers/facilitators to POCUS in the VHA. Data sources include pre- and post-course assessment tools, medical coding data, and course evaluations. Providers that participate in the POCUS Training Course will be compared to control providers from wait-listed facilities. Additionally, participating facilities vs. wait-listed facilities for the POCUS Training Course will be compared. Findings from this project will guide ongoing efforts of the investigators' operating partners, VA Specialty Care Centers of Innovation (SCCI) and the VA Simulation Learning and Research Network (SimLEARN), to develop a national POCUS training program and facilitate implementation of POCUS use system-wide in the VA healthcare system.
A randomized, open label, controlled, parallel group study to investigate difference between regional standard procedure and a novel modified procedure (using an additional novel device to facilitate gel installation) for changing long-term indwelling urinary catheters.
The aim of this work is to compare between early (3days) and late(7days) removal of urinary catheter after acute urine retention in patients with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia under Tamsulosin treatment.
This study investigates electrical acupoint stimulation (EAS) administered in peri-operation for improving postoperative recovery in elder patients, who accept knee arthroplasty. the surgery cause to change of stress response, which might be associated with postoperative recovery of patient Totally, three groups are created, 1/3 participants receive transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation, 1/3 participants receive electroacupuncture, the rest 1/3 will use sham transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation.
Prospective observational study. A substantial number of patients do not respond favourably to sacral neurostimulation (SNS) although clinically, they appear to have the same lower urinary tract (LUT) dysfunction characteristics as the good responders. This may be due to methodological issues (lead position) or patient selection. The purpose of this study is to improve and standardize lead position, in order to increase the patient response to test stimulation and to SNS treatment, and to decrease adverse events.
