Washout policies in long-term indwelling urinary catheterisation in adults

Abstract

The data from five trials comparing differing washout policies were sparse and trials were generally of poor quality or poorly reported. The evidence was too scanty to conclude whether or not washouts were beneficial. In the first instance we require further rigorous, high quality trials with adequate power to detect any benefit from washout being performed as opposed to none. Then trials comparing different washout solutions, washout volumes, frequencies/timings and routes of administration are needed.

Pilot Clinical Trial to test the function of a Diagnostic Sensor in predicting Impending Urinary Catheter Blockage in Long-term Catheterized Patients

“…Current evidence that these solutions are effective is poor, however they are still prescribed to frequent blockers. 19 From the samples received, three individuals (six samples) were prescribed washout/maintenance solutions. As these are only used for patients who are frequent blockers, these were added to the predictability test result (Fig.…”

“…Resultatet visar liksom Hagen m. fl. (13) att det inte finns tillräckligt vetenskapligt underlag för att ge några rekommendationer för eller emot spolning för att förhindra flödeshinder i KAD. Även om evidens saknas så behöver det inte betyda att interventionen helt saknar effekt (32).…”
