Overview
Clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) is currently the method for patients who cannot urinate spontaneously or void incompletely. In these cases, the patient repeatedly inserts a urinary catheter to empty the bladder. In the home environment, he uses a sterile catheter for this in the conditions of community hygiene. The CIC method is widely used in the treatment of neurogenic dysfunctions of lower urinary tract, but its use is expanding also in non-neurogenic voiding dysfunctions. Complications include urinary tract infection and urethral injury. Compared to long-term catheterization with a permanent urinary catheter, these complications are significantly lower. The aim of the paper is to summarize the current information on clean intermittent catheterization of the bladder and encourages wider use of this method.
Keywords:
urinary tract infection – clean intermittent catheterization – dysfunction of lower urinary tract
