Abstract

Background: Often, when inserting a urinary catheter, it is noticed that urine does not drain right away. Method: This article will discuss the 'urinary catheter squeeze' technique that can help healthcare providers resolve this problem. Results: We have a simple solution called the 'catheter squeeze technique' to address the problem of urine not draining. The clinician who inserts the catheter can assess the outcome of this technique immediately, as it provides immediate results. Conclusion: There are several theories regarding why urine may not properly drain into a catheter after it is inserted, and various methods are employed to address this issue. Our "catheter squeeze technique" is a simple approach that requires no tools or assistance, and its effectiveness can be observed immediately after insertion.
