Urine Leakage in the Indwelling Urinary Catheterization Clinical Trial
Official title:
Investigation of Two Different Types of Solution and Volume for Inflating Foley Catheter Balloon in Indwelling Urinary Catheterization
In the indwelling urinary catheterization (IUC), urinary leakage may develop around the
catheter in the following days of catheterization. The volume and type of fluid used to
inflate the catheter balloon has the potential to be a factor in the development of this
problem.
In this study, the investigators aimed to investigate the effect of the type and amount of
fluid used in inflating the silicone foley catheter balloon on the development of urinary
leakage around the catheter. In addition to purpose, the following questions were answered to
determine the optimal solution type and volume in inflating the balloon:
- What was the incidence of urinary leakage in IUC?
- Was there a relationship between catheterization time and urine leakage?
- Was there a relationship between the type of fluid used to inflate the foley catheter
balloon and urine leakage?
- Was there a relationship between the amount of fluid used to inflate the foley catheter
balloon and urine leakage?
