Evaluation Patient Satisfaction After Passive Bladder Catheter Removal Compared to Active Removal

Hospices Civils de Lyon160 enrolled

Overview

In usual practice, the removal of the bladder catheter is performed by a nurse a few days after the surgery. The nurse deflates the balloon and removes the catheter from the urethra by manual traction. To date, there are no solid data on the impact of passive catheter removal on patient satisfaction. It is therefore necessary to estimate the effect on patient satisfaction of active catheter removal by a nurse versus passive catheter removal under gravity. The effect on pain and anxiety will also be compared between the two techniques. The methodology used was that of an open-label randomized controlled trial.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Patient satisfaction score

Patient satisfaction score using a numerical rating scale (NRS) from the minimum value 0 (The worse score) to the maximum value 10 (The better Score)

Time frame: Within one hour after indwelling urinary catheter removal at day 0

Secondary Outcomes

The pain experienced by patients

The pain experienced by patients will be measured using a numerical scale (EN) ranging from the minimum value 0 (The better score) to the maximum value 10 (The worse Score)

Time frame: Prior to catheter removal (within 30 minutes before the start of the procedure) and in the immediate aftermath (within one hour after the removal of the catheter)

The anxiety experienced by patients

The anxiety experienced by patients will be measured using a numerical scale (EN) ranging from the minimum value 0 (The better score) to the maximum value 10 (The worse Score)
