View clinical trials related to Urinary Retention.
Filter by:Urinary retention (UR) is a common problem in older people undergoing hip surgery. Untreated UR can lead to bladder distention and a permanent damage of the bladder, which can cause both physical and psychical suffering as well as increased costs for society. Even if national and international practice guidelines are in place for handling UR within the health care system, many fail to comply with them. Compliance to clinical practice guidelines are improved if different professions and managers collaborate as a team. In OPTION (Onset PrevenTIon of urinary retention in Orthopedic Nursing and rehabilitation) the investigators will coach multi-professional local facilitator teams in knowledge translation and implementation of UR practice as well as investigate the effects of such evidence-based practice in orthopedic nursing and rehabilitation. Implementation of research-based knowledge in evidence-based practice within an organization is complex with several known interacting factors. In a health care system these factors can be the care context, knowledge (innovation) and how the organization facilitates such implementations. The implementation strategy of OPTION utilize established theories of facilitation of knowledge implementation considering evidence and context with focus on leadership. The intervention consists of seminars and systematic support for implementation of UR-guidelines OPTION combine studies of adherence to evidence based practice regarding UR for patients over 65 years old that has undergone hip surgery and the health economic aspects of it. OPTION also contribute with improvements and increased knowledge regarding strategies to implement evidence based health care that can be used in other areas than UR and hip surgeries.
Our hypothesis is that patients receiving preoperative Tamsulosin will have decrease rates of postoperative urinary retention (POUR) after surgery in females for pelvic floor disorders.
Trial of void (TOV) is a diagnostic test performed on all women who undergo prolapse repair or incontinence surgery, due to the importance of diagnosing postoperative urinary retention (POUR). Incidence of POUR may be as high as 62% in some studies. Timely and accurate diagnosis is important to avoid complications such as urinary tract infection, bladder overdistension, and permanent bladder injury. Despite the frequent use of TOV, there is no gold standard for the test, and it likely has poor specificity, leading to discharge of more patients with catheter than required. This prospective cohort study will seek to establish evidence-based optimal parameters for spontaneous trial of void, a TOV modality that has merit for further evaluation given lower theoretical risk of urinary tract infection.
Retrospective case-control 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 dysfunction characteristics as the ones with good responses. 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.
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and safety of Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) in patients suffering of Acute Urinary Retention (AUR) in the context Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH).
