Filter by:This study investigates patient's preference and satisfaction with choice of catheterization after surgical urogynecological procedures.
Aim of this study is to asses post voiding residual volume by ultrasound scan 3th day after delivery with consecutive scan after 6 weeks, and determination of data dispersion among the population of primiparas. In women with excessive retention (+2SD), risk factors such as duration of labour, use of epidural analgesia, instrumental delivery, maternal birth injury and weight of the newborn will be noted down.
The Connected Catheter is a fully internal, urethral indwelling urinary prosthesis designed for improved bladder management in males with urinary retention disorders requiring catheterization. It is a sterile, extended-use device that resides fully internally to the male lower urinary tract for an intended use life of up to 7 days per catheter.
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.
This randomized open-label study will be comprised of 2 cohorts: one control group and one treatment group. The trial will be conducted as an open label randomized trial to evaluate the efficacy of tamsulosin in the prevention of post-operative urinary retention. The study will include pre- and post-surgical evaluations of patients including symptoms of urinary retention and any adverse effects contributable to the study medication.
The study aims to evaluate the efficacy of prophylactic tamsulosin in reducing the incidence of postoperative urinary retention in primary total knee and hip arthroplasty patients.
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of adjuvant electroacupuncture therapy for the post-stroke patients with urinary retention under conventional treatments, compared with sham electroacupuncture.
Ischemic stroke of the spinal cord is a rare disease accounting for about 1% of all ischemic events in the central nervous system (CNS). In most cases the consequences are catastrophic, with a high rate of severe functional disability and mortality rate up to 30%. Ischemic stroke of the spinal cord can arise from: 1. Dissection of the aorta. 2. Aneurism in the aorta. 3. Atherosclerotic disease of the aorta or vertebral arteries. 4. Spinal surgeries. 5. Spinal AVM. 6. Embolism from cardiac origin. 7. Occlusion of radicular artery. Onset is usually sudden, reaching maximal intensity in hours until the patient becomes paralyzed in two or in all four limbs. In most cases the damage is in the Anterior Spinal Artery (ASA). The disease is expressed with motor weakness accompanied by disturbance of temperature and superficial sensation, urinary retention or bowel disorder, with preserved position and vibration sense. The differential diagnosis of ischemic spinal cord includes diseases such as acute myelitis of the spinal cord or acute demyelinating polyneuropathy like Guillan Barree Syndrome (GBS). Therefore in order to reach the appropriate diagnosis in most cases an urgent MRI of the spinal cord is necessary upon arrival in the emergency department. One of the treatments to acute ischemic stroke is providing thrombolysis. As tested and validated in numerous studies for ischemic events in the brain, until today no validated study in ischemic spinal stroke using thrombolysis has been completed.
Catheter-associated urinary infections are the most common hospital-acquired infections and can be prevented by early catheter removal. This study evaluates tamsulosin to reduce the failure of early catheter removal has been studied in elderly women hospitalized for an acute condition and experiencing acute urinary retention: 448 women 75-year old or more without an anatomical or neurological cause of urinary retention will be randomized to a 6 days course of tamsulosin 0.4 mg or placebo. Catheter removal will be attempted after the third dose of tamsulosin and the need to replace another catheter within 72 hours will define a failed attempt.
The investigators hypothesize that many parturients can, in fact, spontaneously micturate with low dose combined spinal epidural analgesic doses given for labor and that Foley catheterization is unnecessary in the majority of these parturients. At Prentice Women's Hospital, almost 9000 women annually receive neuraxial labor analgesia and 98% of those receive Foley catheters. By potentially reducing the necessity for Foley catheters, the investigators should be able to ultimately reduce the rate of bacteriuria, urinary tract infections and urethritis leading to unnecessary treatment with antibiotics, as well as reduce costs of placing unnecessary Foley catheter.The hypothesis is parturients receiving low dose combined spinal epidural analgesia for analgesia after induction of labor who are randomized to a spontaneous micturition protocol will require fewer Foley catheter placements and demonstrate a lower incidence of positive urine culture postpartum than those who undergo standard Foley catheter placement.
