Objective: To explore whether urinary tract infection
was prevented by urinary bladder
irrigation in postoperative indwelling bladder catheter
children.
Methods: 100 indwelling bladder catheter children (age
1 to 14 years), operated in urethra or perineum (They were hypospadia, injury
of perineum or congenital malformation), were divided into two groups in
random. In one group urinary bladder was irrigated with 1:5000 2% furacillin
solution once a day; the other as a control no irrigation was performed.
Urine routine (UR), 12 hours Addis cell count (ACC) and bacteria culture
(BC) was performed 3 days and 7 days postoperatively in both groups.
Results:
No incision infection occurred
in both group and no significant difference was found in either UR, 12
hours ACC or BC.
Conclusions:
The urinary tract infection in indwelling bladder catheter children
has nothing with whether the urinary bladder is irrigated every day. It isn��t
necessary that urinary bladder be irrigated in indwelling bladder catheter
children except that the catheter is blocked
