Catheter washout solutions for long-term urinary catheterisation in adults: A Cochrane Review Summary
People may require long-term urinary catheterisation for a number of reasons, such as: urinary retention (incomplete emptying of the bladder) caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate) or prostate tumour; reduced bladder contractility; or urinary incontinence (involuntary leakage of urine) not amenable to toileting or other method of management. People with conditions such as multiple sclerosis, dementia, stroke, spina bifida, and spinal cord injury may be susceptible to these problems.
