Urinary Catheterization
- Urinary catheterization involves inserting a latex or silicone tube (urinary catheter) into the bladder through the urethra to drain urine for collection.
- The procedure allows for injecting liquids for treatment or diagnosis of bladder conditions.
- Clinicians, typically nurses, perform the procedure, but patients can also perform self-catheterization.
Types of Catheterization
- Urethral catheterization: insertion of a catheter through the urethral orifice into the urinary bladder.
- Supra-pubic catheterization: insertion of a catheter through the anterior abdominal wall into the dome of the urinary bladder.
Catheter Types
- Indwelling catheter: a permanent catheter.
- Intermittent catheter: a catheter removed after each catheterization procedure.
