Catheter Insertion

Z Urology Catheter Insertion Insertion of a catheter is an invasive medical procedure that should only be carried using an aseptic technique. Catheter insertions should always be performed either by a nurse, PA, or a doctor. Complications or difficulties with insertion can happen but are rare. Catheterization of the urinary tract should only be done when there is a specific and adequate clinical indication, as it carries with it the possible risk of infection. As such, It is very important to ensure the insertion and care of the urinary catheter is carried out in a safe manner that minimizes trauma and infection risks. In this video watch Dr. Z of Z Urology show the proper technique and safe infection-free way to insert a catheter. Reasons For Using a Catheter: 1. To drain the bladder prior to, during, or after surgery. 2. For investigations. 3. To accurately measure the urine output. 4. To relieve retention of urine. 5. To relieve urinary incontinence when no other means is practical. Z Urology - Center of Excellence Locations: Coral Springs, Fort Lauderdale, Pompano, and Boca!
