Delayed versus immediate urethral catheterization following instillation of local anaesthetic gel in males: a Randomized Clinical Trial

Pain experienced with delayed versus immediate urethral catheterization following instillation of local anaesthetic gel in males with urinary retention or the need for monitoring of urine output: a Randomized Clinical Trial

Sponsor

Royal Melbourne Hospital

Enrollment

70 participants

Start Date

Jul 1, 2006

Study Type

Interventional

Conditions

Urinary retention, and the need for monitoring of urine output

Summary

We aim to show if introducing a delay between instillation of local anaesthetic gel into the urethra and the performance of catheterisation produces less discomfort than immediate catheterisation. The assessor who administers the pain scale rating will be blinded to the assignment of the patient (delayed or immediate catheterisation). The participant and proceduralist will not be blinded to the assignment.

Eligibility

Sex: Both males and femalesMin Age: 18 Yearss
