Catheterisation Awareness FAQs

What is a catheter?

A catheter is a thin tube typically used to aid the flow of fluids through or out of the body. Catheterisation can either require a surgical procedure or in the case of urinary catheterisation may be inserted by a doctor or nurse.

What is urinary catheterisation?

A urinary catheter is usually used when an individual has difficulty urinating naturally. It can also be used to drain the bladder before or after surgery helping to perform certain tests.

When are urinary catheters used?

Reasons for the use of a urinary catheter include:

  • to empty the bladder if an individual has bladder weakness or nerve damage
  • to drain the bladder during childbirth if an epidural anaesthetic is used
  • to deliver medication directly into the bladder (e.g. chemotherapy for cancer of the bladder)
  • to allow urine to drain if there is an obstruction in the tube that carries urine out of the bladder
  • as a last resort for urinary incontinence when other treatments have been unsuccessful

Course Syllabus:

  • Gain an understanding of catheterisation.
  • Know the purpose of urinary catheterisation.
  • Identify the causes and types of incontinence.
  • Manage the risks involved with catheterisation.
  • Define types of catheters.
