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
