Abstract
Continuous bladder irrigation (CBI) is an established procedure designed to prevent the formation and retention of blood clots following transurethral prostatectomy (TURP). The purpose of this study was to evaluate a tool designed to determine what steps the nurse should follow to assess whether a catheter is blocked and the actions to be taken to restore catheter patency for CBI.
