Urinary catheterisation can be used on a short-term basis, a medium-to-long term basis or occasionally, and on a long-term basis. Short-term catheterisation is used for draining the bladder immediately before or after an operation, or while a woman is giving birth, monitoring urine output when someone is unconscious and in intensive care or for clearing the bladder of any blood clots and debris following injury to the bladder.
Regardless of term, catheterisation is primarily aimed to clear urine bladder. On the basis of catheterisation terms, there are intermittent catheters, indwelling urinary catheters, etc.
Intermittent catheters: These catheters are inserted long enough to drain your bladder before being removed. Intermittent catheter is usually inserted into your bladder through the tube along which urine passes out of your body or the urethra. The sterilised catheter is lubricated with a sterile gel and a local anaesthetic cream may be applied to numb the opening of your urethra. One end of the catheter is attached to a bag to collet the urine and the other end is inserted into your urethra and guided through it until it enters your bladder and urine starts to flow.
An indwelling urinary catheter is inserted in the same way as intermittent catheter, but the catheter is left in place until you regain control of your bladder. When you need an indwelling catheter inserted for a long time, a long-term indwelling catheter, such as Foley catheter, need to be used. A Foley catheter has a small balloon on the end of the tube that is inserted into your bladder. When inflated, the balloon keeps the catheter securely in place. In order to prevent infection, the catheter is exchanged for a new one every three to six weeks!
