A Randomised Controlled Trial Comparing Different Methods for Short-Term Bladder Drainage in Patients With Hip Surgery

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 170 (actual)
• Sponsor: Region Örebro County · Academic / Other
• Sex: All

Summary

The aim of the project is to evaluate differences between intermittent and indwelling catheterisation in patients with hip surgery. Specific objectives are to determine whether: * frequencies of urinary tract problems in hospital and up to one year after discharge differ between patient groups treated with intermittent and indwelling catheterisation respectively. * costs and health-effects differ between the patient groups. * experiences of urinary catheterisation differ between the patient groups

Conditions

• Urinary Tract Infections

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Intermittent urinary catheterisation	Patients randomised to the I group will urinate either in a toilet or in a bedpan or a diaper when needed. Bladder scan control will be performed on these patients at least every four hour. If the patient is unable to urinate and bladder scan indicates ≥ 450 ml urine in the bladder, the patient will be intermittent catheterised.
