3. Review of the anatomy and the physiology

4. Definition
 In urinary catheterization a latex, polyurethane,
or silicone tube known as a urinary catheter is
inserted into a patient's bladder via the urethra.
Catheterization allows the patient's urine to drain
freely from the bladder for collection. It may be used
to inject liquids used for treatment or diagnosis of
bladder conditions.

5. Types of Catheterisation
 Indwelling catheters
 Intermittent catheterization

6. Types of catheters
 Folley’s catheter
 Robinson’s intermittent catheter
 TURP catheter
 Silicone catheter
 coudé catheter
 Condom catheter/ external catheter
 Suprapubic catheter

30. Prevention of infection
 Cleansing the urethral area
 clean hands
 Disconnecting drainage bag as seldom as possible.
 Keeping drainage bag connector as clean as possible
 Use of a thin catheter.
 Drinking sufficient liquid to produce at least two
liters of urine daily
 Sexual activity is very high risk.

Contraindications
Note : in such cases one must then perform retrograde urethrography (injecting
20 cc of contrast into the urethra.) then go for catheterisation.
one must perform a
genital and rectal exam
first.
