Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Urology
  • Medical Device Technology

Background:

  • Clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) is a cornerstone of modern urological care.
  • Current CIC practices in Saudi Arabia face challenges with material appropriateness and acceptance.
  • Inadequate knowledge among healthcare providers and families impacts long-term treatment adherence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and optimize clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) protocols for pediatric patients in Saudi Arabia.
  • To address challenges in material selection, cost-effectiveness, and training.
  • To enhance the understanding and acceptance of CIC among families and the medical community.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of various catheter types and their associated costs.
  • Development of evidence-based suggestions for CIC materials and methods.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Review of principles, indications, contraindications, results, and complications of pediatric CIC.

    • Main Results:

    • A refined protocol was developed based on cost-effective material analysis and clinical experience.
    • Improved understanding and acceptance of CIC were observed in families after proper education and training.
    • Identified systemic educational and support deficiencies as key barriers.

    Conclusions:

    • The effectiveness of clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) is significantly influenced by the educational and supportive infrastructure.
    • Optimizing CIC protocols and materials can improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
    • Addressing knowledge gaps within the Saudi medical community is crucial for widespread successful implementation.
