Deep breathing and making sure the cath is inserted into the bladder just past the sph muscle. Sometimes turning the cath 180 after drawing helps. But it sound like they have a lot of residue. Make sure the bladder is fully emptied and the Uro is advised when not. Best Wishes In a message dated 12/9/2010 5:30:04 P.M. Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
i have a friend whose son has been a c5 quad since april. they are doing intermittent cathing (new sterile cath each time) and he has had multiple uti's. many times when they cath they only get 100 cc or ml but when they pull cath out a lot of urine comes out afterwards. taking detrol for bladder spasms. uro doesn't want to do a superpubic and his mom feels that might be a fix for constant uti problem. he wears a condom cath when he goes out. thoughts and suggestions are much appreciated nicki c5
