Abstract

Catheters are a common method of bladder drainage for obstructive voiding or incomplete bladder emptying. Presuming that a clinical rationale has been proven identifying that a Foley catheter has been assessed as the best method for bladder drainage, this chapter will identify evidence-based practical ideas to support management of the problematic indwelling catheter. This includes explanations and solutions to catheter-associated UTI (CAUTI), bypassing and expelled catheters, the non-draining catheter including catheter encrustation, pain associated with catheters and general problems associated with catheter insertion and removal. Practice that is advised and not advised is detailed.
