Objective: Describe the main clinical characteristics of patients with neurogenic bladder managed with intermittent catheterization.
Materials and methods: The present descriptive survey study was carried out with the SurveyMonkey tool, to create the questionnaire subsequently filled out by patient and / or caregivers.
Results: The survey was answered by 65 patients (or caregiver), the average age was 10.2 years, 55.3% of the respondents are female, 87.7% suffered from spina bifida, 64 patients practiced clean intermittent catheterization, 46% affirmed catheterization 4 times per day, 69% of patients said that the catheter is performed by the caregiver, 52% reuse the catheter. 43% of patients used catheter 8 fr. and 31% used 10 fr.
Regarding the use of pre-lubricated catheter, 91% of patients seem to be good, easy to introduce and easy to handle. 70% reported that urinary infections decreased with their use, 44.1% said they produced less bleeding.
Conclusions: The use of prelubricated catheter for bladder catheterization is better accepted and tolerated by the patient / caregiver, easy to handle and prepare, in addition to improving the complications associated with its use.
