Mechanical complication of urinary (indwelling) catheter - what does this mean

A mechanical complication of urinary (indwelling) catheter is caused by the insertion of a catheter into the bladder, which can cause trauma to the urethra, bladder, or surrounding tissue. it can also occur when the catheter is not properly maintained or removed, leading to infection, blockage, or displacement of the catheter.

What happens during the disease - mechanical complication of urinary (indwelling) catheter

The pathogenesis of mechanical complications of urinary (indwelling) catheter is caused by the trauma to the bladder and urethra that can occur when the catheter is inserted, as well as the potential for the catheter to become blocked or kinked. additionally, the catheter can cause irritation of the bladder and urethra due to the presence of foreign material, leading to infection, inflammation, and scarring. the catheter can also cause trauma to the bladder and urethra due to the mechanical forces of the catheter movement, leading to further irritation and inflammation.

How does a doctor diagnose

  • Complete physical examination
  • Urine culture and sensitivity test
  • Blood tests to check for infection
  • Ultrasound to check for structural abnormalities
  • Imaging tests such as X-ray, CT or MRI scan
  • Urodynamic testing to assess bladder function
  • Cystoscopy to examine the bladder

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main goal of the treatment: To treat the mechanical complication of urinary (indwelling) catheter.
  • Perform a physical examination of the patient to assess the severity of the complication.
  • Administer antibiotics to treat any infection.
  • Change the catheter to a new one.
  • Perform a cystoscopy to inspect the bladder.
  • Check the catheter for any blockage or kinks.
  • Check for any bladder stones.
  • Administer pain medications if needed.
  • Perform a urodynamic study to assess the bladder function.
  • Monitor the patient closely for any changes.

Mechanical complication of urinary (indwelling) catheter - Prevention

The best way to prevent mechanical complications of urinary catheter is to ensure that the catheter is inserted and maintained properly, to keep the catheter and surrounding area clean and dry, and to regularly check for signs of infection or other complications. additionally, it is important to remove the catheter as soon as possible, as prolonged use increases the risk of mechanical complications.
