“A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Clamping Versus Bladder Training Methods Prior to Foley’s Catheter Removal in Adult Patients at Apollo BGS Hospital, Mysore "

Abstract

Indwelling Foley’s catheterization is a common procedure in hospitalized patients for urinary drainage following surgical and medical conditions. The method adopted prior to catheter removal plays a vital role in preventing urinary retention and avoiding re-catheterization. However, the effectiveness of clamping versus bladder training varies depending on patient age, duration of catheterization, and associated comorbidities.
