Описание: Today's discussion focused on catheterization, exploring different methods of catheterizing a patient and the reasons behind its use. Dr. Abhishek Shukla, a geriatrician from Aastha Geriatric Centre in Lucknow, explained the differences between indwelling catheterization and external catheterization. Indwelling catheters, such as the Foley catheter, remain in place for longer durations and are used for continuous urine drainage, while external catheters (also known as male or condom catheters) are non-invasive and worn externally, typically for short-term use in males. Catheterization is needed for various reasons, including urinary retention, incontinence, post-surgical recovery, and precise input-output monitoring in critical care. For input-output monitoring, the Foley catheter is most useful, as it allows continuous urine drainage, making it easier to track fluid balance and assess kidney function. The choice of catheter depends on the patient's medical needs and whether the goal is temporary or long-term management.
