Summary
Key Learning Points
1. Urinary catheterisation is essential for monitoring the cardiovascular and renal status of the critical care patient.
2. Urethral catheterisation may be contraindicated in cases of altered urethral anatomy.
3. Ensure the balloon sits within the bladder before inflation, to prevent urethral injury.
4. Many trusts advocate a stat dose of intravenous antibiotic to prevent bacterial translocation.
5. The choice of catheter material is determined by the likely duration of catheterisation.
