Editor's Notes
- Good afternoon everyone and welcome to today’s talk on a topic that is so simple that it is performed on a daily basis in all wards but equally complex, that if something goes wrong, it can even lead to a permanent disability in a patient
- Today, we will be talking about what- that is the definition and types of catheterization, Where, the brief anatomy of relevant organs Why and when, that is the indications and contraindication of the procedure Who can perform the procedure and finally how and how not to perform the procedure.
- First things first, Urethral catheterization and foley catheterization are used synonymously, but are they the same?? Actually, they are not Urethral catheterization is the insertion of any catheter through the urethra for draining urine, washing the bladder or to instill medications in the bladder. Whereas Foley catheterization in insertion of specific type of catheter, that is the Foley catheter in some part of the body. Apart from Urethra, it can be used for cervical ripening during induction of labour, washing extradural hemorrahges in burrhole surgeries and also to stop epistaxis. Though not recommended, it can also be used as a Tourniquet.
- Urethral catheterization can be intermittent type, where the catheter is removed after the completion of the procedure. Commonly call in and out procedure. It can performed with Robinson’s catheter also known as the red rubber catheter The Nelaton’s catheter and the tiemann catheter. The second type is the indwelling type, where the catheter is left in situ after the procedure is completed for some time maximum of 2 weeks to 3 months, depending upon the type of material the catheter is made up of. It is most commonly done by using a Foley catheter
- The foley catheter is a self-retaining multi-lumen catheter, made from Natural latex rubber, polyurethane, Silver alloys and Silicone. It may be double-lumen and up to four lumens. In a double lumen catheter, one of the lumens is used for draining the bladder and the other one is used for inflating the balloon. The extra lumen in the triple lumen catheter is for connecting the irrigating fluid for washing the bladder. Recently there has been the development of various types of Foley catheters such as premedicated and silver-coated catheters to decrease the incidence of CAUTI, temperature sensing catheters to measure the temperature of the body through the bladder and also catheters with a drainage bag attached to it.
- These catheters come in different sizes. And like with all tubes whose sizes are measured in French, these catheters are also colour code labelled. The most commonly used foley catheters are labelled with green or orange, that is of 14Fr and 16Fr catheters.
- The knowledge of anatomy required for proper foley catheterization is what sets the male and female sexes apart. In both males and females, urethral catheterization involves the introduction of a catheter from the External urethral meatus through the urethra up to the bladder but. There are some key differences The urethra for one is around 4cm long in females whereas it is more than 6 times the length in males. The urinary and genital tracts open separately in females but are the same in males The urethra is essentially straight in females but the male urethra is S-shaped. The identification of the external opening may be difficult to an untrained eye in females but can be easily identified in males. Resistance can be felt in various location while catheterization in males but it is not so in females
- Who is entitled to perform urethral catheterization. Does he/she need to be an urologist? Normally NO A paramedic, A Nurse or Any doctor can perform this procedure. When they do this at the right time in the right place, they become superheroes in the eyes of the patient Because in the words of Wise Birbal, “there is no greater satisfaction to a human than to pass urine when it is urgent!”
- There are two sets that can be seen in the picture
- The first one is Dressing set It has a kidney tray, hemostat and toothed forceps with some gauze It has a one extra thing and a piece of essential equipment that is missing
- This is now a catheter set It has a sponge holding forceps, a kidney tray with some gauzes and an eye towel.
- Complications of catheterization include CAUTI or Catheter-associated urinary tract infection is one of the most common complications of catheterization. It can be prevented by using sterile techniques during catheterization, and in modern times, the use of pre-medicated catheters though not available in our set-up. Next is Iatrogenic Paraphimosis, which usually occurs due to failure or negligence of the person performing the procedure to roll back the foreskin after completion of the procedure. Simple rolling back of the foreskin will prevent this, however if paraphimosis does occur, manual reduction of the foreskin can be attempted in the ward, and if not successful, can be done under anesthesia. If that is still not successful, a dorsal slit will have to be made followed by circumcision once the swelling subsides.

If that is still not successful, a dorsal slit will have to be made followed by circumcision once the swelling subsides. Rarely Glans amputation or Penile amputation may be required if the distal penile tip is necrosed because of paraphimosis, usually seen in comatose patients.
- Urethral injury can occur during the course of the procedure or may develop as a reaction of the insult of the catheter some months later. False passages and urethral perforation are can occur when excessive force is exerted upon the catheter in a mechanically obstructed urethra Urethral tears can occur if the balloon is inflated within the lumen of the urethra Urethral strictures can form months later even with a clean procedure because of tissue reactions to micro insults that are bound to occur during catheterization. Patients usually have hematuria or scrotal swelling may occur due to urine leakage into the surrounding area. Treatment can be done for minor injuries by cystoscopy guided foley catheterization and prolonged catheterization. Some patients may even require urethroplasty or even lifelong urinary diversions. Urethral strictures can be treated effectively by urethral dilatations.
- Accidental removal or pulling the catheter is usually seen in mentally differently-abled patients with psychiatric disorders. Or it can happen if the balloon is punctured, which can be due to a manufacturing defect. If there is an accidental withdrawal of the catheter with an inflated balloon, it will result in urethral injuries, which may lead to the patient requiring urethroplasty or life-long urinary diversion. Therefore, one of the primary ways of preventing accidental removal is testing the equipment before insertion, using adequate anaesthetic and lubricating agents to avoid irritation to the urethra and fixing the catheter properly.
- Catheter blockage can be because of hematuria or Sediments. If the catheter is blocked, the blockage can be attempted to be removed by flushing the catheter with Irrigation syringe with NS. Or the catheter can be changed altogether Formation of sediments is only natural in patient with long term foley catheter can does not require taking any actions unless the patient is symptomatic for UTI or if the catheter is blocked.
- Bladder dysfunction may occur in a patient who has undergone catheterization for a long time. The bladder literally forgets how to do its job, hence the bladder needs to be trained to regain the function Bladder training can be done by removing the catheter of more than 7 days by clamping the catheter for 2 hours and releasing the clamp for 10 minutes and repeating the cycle for 24 hours or more as required except at night. Sometimes bladder training may be required even up to 7 days. However, in rare cases, bladder dysfunction may be prolonged and not relived by training alone. These cases can be diagnosed with Cystometrogram and can be attempted to be treated with CISC or clean intermittent self-catheterization. And just for your information, our institution has one of the most advanced Cystometrogram in the country and is a referral centre for the procedure.
