Abstract
Objective:To observe the application of intermittent catheterization in patients with incomplete spinal cord injury in terms of bladder function recovery and explore the nursing method.Methods: 104 incomplete spinal cord injury patients were divided into the control group and the observation group,each has 52 cases.The observation group was treated with clean intermittent catheterization,while the control group was treated with retained catheter.After 1 month treatment,comparing with the two groups urine,urine culture and residual urine volume were observed.Results: The urine volume is no more than100ml in the observation group,which is significantly lower than the control group,P0.05.It has a lower rate of urine infection in the observation group than the control group,P0.05.Conclusions: The application of intermittent catheterization and active nursing measures can promote the recovery of bladder function and reduce the incidence of complications for the incomplete spinal cord injury patients.
