1St. Vincent Health Center, Erie, PA, USA.
Abstract:
In today's evolving health care field, outpatient procedures are becoming more commonplace. Many patients with suprapubic catheters are now being seen in outpatient or home care settings. Addressing the educational needs of patients, family members, and nursing staff is now more important than ever for successful patient suprapubic catheter management. A basic understanding of how these catheters are initially placed is essential for proper care and avoidance of possible complications. This review of initial placement of suprapubic catheters and post-insertion care is based on one clinician's experience and practice at a local hospital in Pennsylvania.
