Abstract:
In cases of suspected urinary infection when babies are admitted to emergency departments, a cyto-bacteriological urine test is necessary. Collection bags are associated with a high risk of "false positives" while catheterisation is an invasive technique. Nursing teams in the paediatric emergency departments of Limoges and Poissy general hospitals carried out a study to assess the benefits of both methods, the feasibility of catheterisation in children under 3 months and the pain this procedure causes. They also examined the children's, nurses' and parents' own experiences of the treatment.
