Bladder scanners may reduce unnecessary catheters after surgery
NCT ID NCT07655713
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how nurses manage patients' ability to urinate after surgery in the recovery room. Some patients develop post-operative urinary retention, which often leads to catheterization—a procedure that can cause infection, pain, and discomfort. The study will review medical records of 970 patients and survey nursing staff to see how often bladder scanners are used and whether catheterizations could have been avoided. The goal is to improve care and reduce unnecessary invasive procedures.
