Patient interviews using the Health Belief Model framework identified thematic patient perceptions of indwelling urinary catheters and catheter-associated urinary tract infections. Generally, patients perceived catheters as convenient and were unaware of catheter alternatives and risks for infection. Better patient education is needed to reduce urinary catheter use and infections. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2016;37:1098-1100.

(1) : Catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD), a common and distressing consequence of indwelling urinary catheters, can significantly impact postoperative recovery. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of bladder irrigation with a 0.05% lidocaine normal saline solution for the prevention of CRBD following transurethral surgery.

Background: Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBPs) recommend using gowns and gloves for certain nursing home residents during specific high-contact care activities associated with multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) transmission. Though EBP is included in published guidance as an MDRO control strategy, optimal implementation approaches remain unclear.
Methods: We implemented a quality improvement (QI) initiative using the 4E process model (engagement, education, execution, and evaluation) to optimize EBP implementation in 4 Maryland nursing homes.

A long-term indwelling catheter may be indicated in clinical situations, such as chronic diseases of the genitourinary or neurological systems. In addition to the risks of infection, trauma, and bleeding, a catheter's permanence can affect psycho-emotional and socioeconomic dimensions. We aimed to understand how the need to use a long-term indwelling catheter affects this patient's self-perception, interrelationships, and self-care.

Background: Bladder spasms due to involuntary contraction of the bladder occur frequently following Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). They may be aggravated by the presence of a catheter, blood clots, preoperative overactive bladder, or preoperative ingestion of bladder stimulants like caffeine. These bladder spams are painful, associated with peri-catheter leakage of urine, increased post-operative bleeding, and often refractory to postoperative analgesia.

Introduction: The superiority of the functional results of robot-assisted radical prostatectomyis still controversial. Despite this, it is known that minimally invasive surgery obtains better results when analyzing blood loss, blood transfusion and length of stay, for example. Several studies have analyzed the impact of the resident physician's involvement on the results of urological surgeries.
