| Zusammenfassung: | We investigated the effectiveness of the Bladder Assist Device on urinary tract infection of patients with indwelling catheters. The patients, except for those with cord bladder and vesicoureteral reflux, could urinate intermittently under the BLAD system. Irrigation of the bladder using BLAD made urine clear and decreased urinary bacteria. Because of intermittent urination in patients who had been using the BLAD system for two weeks, the urine became somewhat clear and the number of bacteria decreased. Combination of bladder irrigation and intermittent urination using this system may inhibit urinary tract infection of an indwelling catheter. BLAD is considered to be a useful device for patients with continuous indwelling catheters |
