| Indication of Catheterization for Intermittent Catheters (IC)
|
| Diane Newman, DNP, ANP-BC, FAAN
|
| Intermittent catheterization is recommended as the "gold standard" for individuals with bladder dysfunction, whether caused by neurological or non-neurological factors. It is especially crucial for those who cannot void or completely empty their bladder. This approach is favored over long-term indwelling urinary catheters for patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction that leads to incomplete bladder emptying, as it is associated with fewer complications.

| Best Practices for Management - Intermittent Catheters
|
| Diane Newman, DNP, ANP-BC, FAAN |
| Intermittent catheterization (IC) can have a significant impact on patients' lives, both physically and emotionally. When teaching patients about IC, healthcare professionals should consider various factors and follow best practices to ensure successful implementation and patient compliance. Diane Newman presents key points to consider.
