Predictors of catheter-related bladder discomfort in the post-anaesthesia care unit

Management of Catheter-Related Bladder Discomfort in Patients Who Underwent Elective Surgery

“…2 This study showed that the overwhelming majority of patients who required an indwelling catheter, especially those who received TURBT, developed moderate or severe CRBD during the immediate postoperative period. Compared with urological surgery, patients who underwent any other types of operations have a lower incidence of CRBD.…”

“…CRBD is characterized by a burning sensation spreading from the suprapubic area to the penis and is associated with discomfort or the urge to void. [1][2][3][4] Symptoms of CRBD mimic those of an overactive bladder (OAB). In addition, CRBD is usually accompanied by behavioral responses, such as flailing limbs, strong vocal response, and attempting to pull out the urinary catheter.…”

Postanaesthetic emergence agitation in adult patients after general anaesthesia for urological surgery

“…13,14 Male sex and a large diameter Foley catheter are independent risk factors for CRBD. 15 The majority of patients in the present study were male and had a Foley catheter inserted postoperatively, putting them at high risk of CRBD. It is necessary to reduce CRBD in these patients in order to prevent emergence agitation.…”

The effect of sevoflurane versus desflurane on postoperative catheter-related bladder discomfort in patients undergoing transurethral excision of a bladder tumour: a randomized controlled trial

“…Male sex and the diameter of the Foley catheter are known risk factors for CRBD. 21 Moreover, continuous irrigation of the bladder to prevent urinary tract obstruction by blood clots and reimplantation of cancer cells often irritates the bladder wall. Because of these predisposing factors, patients undergoing TURBT are at high risk of CRBD, which explains the relatively high incidence of CRBD in our investigation.…”
