Abstract:Objective To explore the clinical effect of intermittent catheterization combined with comprehensive nursing intervention in patients with urinary retention after lumbar surgery.Methods A total of 40 patients with urinary retention after lumbar surgery in our hospital from January 2017 to September 2018 were selected, they were randomly divided into observation group and control group with 20 cases in each group.The control group was given routine nursing measures for urinary retention, while the observation group was given intermittent catheterization combined with comprehensive nursing intervention.The incidence of urethral injury and urinary tract infection were compared between the two groups.The cost of catheterization and nursing time were compared between the two groups.The nursing comfort of the two groups was compared.Results The incidence of urinary tract infection in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, the difference was significant (P<0.05).The nursing comfort of the observation group was better than that of the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of urethral injury, cost of catheterization and time of catheterization nursing between the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusion Intermittent catheterization is a safe and effective way to restore bladder autonomous urination in patients with urinary retention after lumbar surgery.It can reduce the occurrence of urinary tract infection and improve patients′ nursing comfort.
