Peritoneal Dialysis II: Peritoneal Dialysis Systems and Complications

174
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a medical process that removes waste products and excess fluid from the body using the peritoneal membrane as a natural filter.Peritoneal Dialysis MethodsSeveral methods can be used for peritoneal dialysis, including Acute Intermittent Peritoneal Dialysis, Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis, and Automated Peritoneal Dialysis, also known as Continuous Cyclic Peritoneal Dialysis.Acute Intermittent Peritoneal Dialysis (AIPD) is used for patients with uremic...

Cardiac Catheterization I: Pre-Procedure Overview

367
Cardiac catheterization is an invasive diagnostic technique used to identify and evaluate structural and functional diseases of the heart and major blood vessels. This technique diagnoses congenital heart disease, coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, and coronary spasms and assesses ventricular function. It helps guide treatment decisions, including the need for revascularization procedures like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and...

Cardiac Catheterization IV: Nursing Management

334
Nursing responsibilities before cardiac catheterization include:Assess for allergies and establish baseline health status.Before cardiac catheterization, assess the patient for allergies to contrast dye. Perform a comprehensive baseline assessment, including vital signs, heart and breath sounds, and a neurovascular assessment of the extremities, noting distal pulses, skin color, and temperature. Instruct the patient to fast for 8-12 hours before the procedure. Evaluate baseline laboratory...

Endocarditis IV: Nursing Management

111
Infective endocarditis (IE) is a chronic infection of the heart's endocardium, primarily affecting the heart valves. A detailed nursing assessment for a patient with IE involves collecting subjective and objective data to ensure an accurate diagnosis and timely intervention.Subjective DataThe nurse gathers information about the patient's symptoms and complaints during the subjective assessment. Patients with infective endocarditis often report non-specific symptoms that can mimic other...

Right Heart Catheterization: An OverviewRight heart catheterization is an invasive diagnostic procedure that measures right-sided cardiac and pulmonary artery pressures, calculates cardiac output, and identifies intracardiac shunts. It provides detailed hemodynamic data essential for diagnosing and managing various cardiovascular conditions, such as pulmonary hypertension.Access SitesCommon access sites for right heart catheterization include the internal jugular vein in the neck region, the...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis

473
Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Nephrology
  • Nursing Care

Background:

  • Intermittent catheterisation (IC) is a long-established, gold-standard treatment for managing urinary retention in neurogenic bladder.
  • IC offers significant advantages over indwelling catheters, including reduced infection risk, bladder protection, and improved patient quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review common complications associated with intermittent catheterisation.
  • To highlight the critical role of nurses in managing these complications.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on complications of intermittent catheterisation.
  • Discussion of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and urethral complications.
  • Emphasis on nursing interventions for complication management.

Main Results:

  • Infection, particularly UTIs, remains the most frequent complication of IC.
  • Urethral complications are also noted as significant issues.
  • Nurses play a vital role in the prevention and management of IC-related complications.

Conclusions:

  • Despite its benefits, intermittent catheterisation carries risks of complications, primarily infections and urethral issues.
  • Effective nursing management is crucial for mitigating these complications and ensuring patient well-being.
