Evaluation Patient Satisfaction After Passive Bladder Catheter Removal Compared to Active Removal

NCT05313945 · Status: RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 160

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In usual practice, the removal of the bladder catheter is performed by a nurse a few days after the surgery. The nurse deflates the balloon and removes the catheter from the urethra by manual traction. To date, there are no solid data on the impact of passive catheter removal on patient satisfaction.

It is therefore necessary to estimate the effect on patient satisfaction of active catheter removal by a nurse versus passive catheter removal under gravity. The effect on pain and anxiety will also be compared between the two techniques. The methodology used was that of an open-label randomized controlled trial.

Conditions

  • Urologic Diseases

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Passive indwelling urinary catheter removal

After washing the patient's perineal area with water and mild soap, the nurse deflates the indwelling urinary catheter balloon and instructs the patient to take a shower (standing). During this time, the catheter will fall under gravity.

PROCEDURE

Active indwelling catheter removal by a nurse

After washing the patient's perineal area with water and mild soap, the nurse deflates the balloon and removes the catheter from the urethra by manual traction.
