Trial of Void With Saline Bladder Instillation, a Randomized Controlled Trial
This study is being done to see if there is a difference between the traditional method of
removing a urethral catheter after surgery and waiting for the patient to urinate on their
own to the saline instillation method which places either room temperature or warmed saline
into the patient's bladder through the catheter before removing the catheter.
removing a urethral catheter after surgery and waiting for the patient to urinate on their
own to the saline instillation method which places either room temperature or warmed saline
into the patient's bladder through the catheter before removing the catheter.
Voiding trials after surgery to remove a catheter can be done in different ways.
Traditional method: The catheter is removed and the patient will attempt to void.
Room temperature saline instillation: Room temperature saline will be placed in the patients
bladder through the catheter. The catheter will be removed and the patient will attempt to
void.
Warmed saline group: Saline that has been warmed to 37C will be placed in the patients
bladder through the catheter. The catheter will be removed and the patient will attempt to
void.
