Filter by:Double blinded, randomized controlled prospective study looking at 2 preoperative doses of Tamsulosin an alpha-adrenergic blocker in preventing post-operative urinary retention. A previous study was conducted called "Effectiveness of tamsulosin inprevention of postoperative urinary retention: a randomized double-blind-placebo controlled study" This study involved a tertiary care center involving mostly urological surgical procedures. We look to specifically look at inguinal hernia surgeries in males. The aim of this study is to compare the prophylactic effect of tamsulosin with placebo on postoperative urinary retention. The drug is FDA approved for benign prostatic hypertrophy and urinary retention. It is on formulary at Genesys. Currently there is no standard procedure of prophylactic tamsulosin for urinary retention. Most often post operative patients are given tamsulosin to augment smooth muscle relaxation and spontaneous voiding if the patient is having urinary retention post operatively. We often straight catheterize patients once and start tamsulosin with the goal of avoiding urinary retention and future straight catheterizations or placement of foley catheters
Objective: Acute urinary retention (AUR) is a common problem in hospitalized patients. Either indwelling urethral catheterization or clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) can be the choice of treatment. In chronic urinary retention, most physicians prefer CIC to chronic indwelling urethral catheter on the basis of the claim that the rate of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is lower. Method: The patients were randomized into indwelling urethral catheter and CIC groups. The primary outcomes of the study were catheter-associated asymptomatic bacteriuria and CAUTI. The secondary outcomes were pain, hematuria, cloudy urine, and quality of life.
Randomization (1:1) of male patients, over age 50, undergoing elective spine surgery to tamsulosin versus a placebo.
Urinary retention is a common problem, particularly in hospitalized patients. When a Foley catheter is removed, a patient must be monitored for urinary retention. The usual method is a passive voiding trial where the catheter is removed, the bladder fills with urine and the patient is monitored for voiding over approximately 6 hours. Another option is an active voiding trial where the bladder is filled with saline before the catheter is removed and the patient is immediately assisted to void. This study seeks to determine the effect of active vs passive voiding trials on time to hospital discharge, rate of urinary tract infections, and rate or urinary retention in the general hospitalized population.
The purpose of this study is to compare, for each patient, dosimetry of organs at risk (bladder, rectum, sigmoid, small bowel) in two bladder distension procedures (emptied by a urinary catheter or filled with 120cc) during PDR 3D image-guided brachytherapy of cervical cancer.
The investigators intend to compare the rate of urinary retention among female patients after vaginal delivery under epidural anesthesia, depending on bladder catheterization type, either by a foley catheter inserted adjacent to epidural anesthesia or intermittent catheterization applied every 4 hours during labor.
This is a prospective, comparative randomized study. Our study population includes women with pelvic organ prolapse undergoing a robotic assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy. The two groups will include the study group, who will have their Foley catheter removed 6 hours post-op, and the control group who will have an indwelling Foley catheter overnight. The two groups will be assigned according REDCap randomization system.
The urinary tract infections are common in children. It is estimated that about 3% of girls and 1% of boys suffer from a urinary tract infection before the age of 11 years. A prompt diagnosis and treatment are necessary for the prevention of morbidity and long-term sequelae. Currently, there are different methods of urine collection, such as suprapubic aspiration, the survey, the collection bag and the jet medium collection. They have in common to be time-consuming, invasive in some cases, providers of contaminated levies for others and impossible in children incontinent for the last. A Spanish study developed a new collection technique, for kidney and bladder stimulation, noninvasive, in the new-born to 30-day months. The results are promising with a success rate of over 85% within a period of about 45s. No study has looked at a broader pediatric population, including children from birth to age of acquisition of walking. We hypothesize that it is possible to obtain urine in less than 3 minutes, noninvasively, in infants who have not acquired the works for which a urine sample is required.
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate if direct removal of the urine catheter after an laparoscopic hysterectomy (total laparoscopic hysterectomy and laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy) is associated with similar (or better) outcomes compared to delayed catheter removal after surgery, which is the current treatment. In addition, we want to investigate patient's experience on this subject. Study design: Randomized Controlled trial, non-inferiority study. Study population: Women older than 18 years old, who are a laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign indication or low-grade malignancy. Intervention: - Group A (treatment group): the patients in this group will have their catheter directly removed in the OR after LH. - Group B (control group): the patients in the control group will have their catheter removed according to the regular protocol of the hospital (at least 6 hours in place).
The primary aim of this study is to determine if normal bladder function (the ability to empty the bladder during spontaneous urination) after surgical repair of pelvic organ prolapse returns faster in patients who have a retrograde voiding trial the day of surgery versus patients who have a retrograde voiding trial on postoperative day one. Half of participants will have a voiding trial 4 hours after surgery, while the other half will have the voiding trial postoperative day one.
