  • comparison of clean intermittent and transurethral indwelling catheterization for the treatment of overt urinary retention after vaginal delivery a mulTicentre randomized controlled clinical trial
    International Urogynecology Journal, 2018
    Co-Authors: Femke Mulder, R A Hakvoort, Jan Bruin, Joris A M Van Der Post, J P Roovers
    Abstract:

    Introduction and hypothesis Overt postpartum urinary retention (PUR) is the inability to void after delivery and affects up to 7% of patients. Clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) and transurethral indwelling catheterization (Tic) are both standard treatments, but have not previously been compared. Clinical guidelines on postpartum bladder management are lacking.

  • patient preferences for clean intermittent catheterisation and transurethral indwelling catheterisation for treatment of abnormal post void residual bladder volume after vaginal prolapse surgery

    Abstract:

    Please cite this paper as: Hakvoort R, Nieuwkerk P, Burger M, Emanuel M, Roovers J. Patient preferences for clean intermittent catheterisation and transurethral indwelling catheterisation for treatment of abnormal post-void residual bladder volume after vaginal prolapse surgery. BJOG 2011;118:1324–1328. Objective  To determine patient preferences for clean intermittent catheterisation (CIC) relative to transurethral indwelling catheterisation (Tic) as the treatment of abnormal post-void residual bladder volume (PVR) following vaginal prolapse surgery. Design  Scenario-based preference assessment during face-to-face interview. Setting  Teaching hospital. Population  A sample of consecutive patients scheduled for vaginal prolapse surgery. Methods  Preference for CIC relative to Tic was assessed using written treatment scenarios. Initially, treatment duration was set at 3 days and the risk for urinary tract infection (UTI) was 30% for both interventions. Both treatment duration and UTI risk related to Tic were kept constant. Treatment duration and UTI risk after CIC were varied until patients altered their preference. In this way, the duration of catheterisation and level of UTI risk related to CIC at which patients would prefer CIC to Tic could be determined. Main outcome measures  Patients’ preference for CIC relative to Tic. Results  When both duration of treatment and UTI risk were idenTical for both interventions, 64% of patients prefer CIC. Ninety-two percent of patients prefer CIC when CIC lasts 3 days but results in a 15% lower risk of UTI. Assuming that CIC results in a 15% risk of UTI, a total of 98 and 99% of patients prefer CIC to Tic when catheterisation with CIC last 2 and 1 day, respectively. Conclusions  Most patients with abnormal PVR prefer CIC to Tic. The results of a recent randomised controlled trial showed that CIC resulted in a 2 days shorter catheterisation and more than 20% reduced risk of UTI. These conditions correspond to a preference of 99% of patients for CIC.

  • comparing clean intermittent catheterisation and transurethral indwelling catheterisation for incomplete voiding after vaginal prolapse surgery a mulTicentre randomised trial

    Please cite this paper as: Hakvoort R, Thijs S, Bouwmeester F, Broekman A, Ruhe I, Vernooij M, Burger M, Emanuel M, Roovers J. Comparing clean intermittent catheterisation and transurethral indwelling catheterisation for incomplete voiding after vaginal prolapse surgery: a mulTicentre randomised trial. BJOG 2011;118:1055–1060. Objective  To compare clean intermittent catheterisation with transurethral indwelling catheterisation for the treatment of abnormal post-void residual bladder volume (PVR) following vaginal prolapse surgery. Design  MulTicentre randomised controlled trial. Setting  Five teaching hospitals and one non-teaching hospital in the Netherlands. Population  All patients older than 18 years experiencing abnormal PVR following vaginal prolapse surgery, with or without the use of mesh. Exclusion criteria were: any neurological or anxiety disorder, or the need for combined anti-incontinence surgery. Methods  All patients were given an indwelling catheter directly after surgery, which was removed on the first postoperative day. Patients with a PVR of more than 150 ml after their first void were randomised for clean intermittent catheterisation (CIC), performed by nursing staff, or for transurethral indwelling catheterisation (Tic) for 3 days. Main outcome measure  Bacteriuria rate at end of treatment. Results  A total of 87 patients were included in the study. Compared with the Tic group (n = 42), there was a lower risk of developing bacteriuria (14 versus 38%; P = 0.02) or urinary tract infection (UTI; 12 versus 33%; P = 0.03) in the CIC group (n = 45); moreover, a shorter period of catheterisation was required (18 hours CIC versus 72 hours Tic; P < 0.001). Patient satisfaction was similar in the two groups, and no adverse events occurred. Conclusion  Clean intermittent catheterisation is preferable over indwelling catheterisation for 3 days in the treatment of abnormal PVR following vaginal prolapse surgery.
