Bladder retraining following removal of an indwelling catheter
begins with
instructing the patient to follow a 2-3 hour timed voiding schedule.
Immediately after the removal of the indwelling catheter, the patient
is placed on a timed voiding schedule, usually two to three hours. At
the given time interval, the patient is instructed to void.
a) encouraging the patient to void immediately.
Immediate voiding is not usually encouraged. The patient is commonly
placed on a timed voiding schedule, usually within two to three hours.
b) advising the patient to avoid urinating for at least 6 hours.
Immediately after the removal of the indwelling catheter, the patient is
placed on a timed voiding schedule, usually two to three hours, not
six.
c) performing straight catherization after 4 hours.
If bladder ultrasound scanning shows 100 mL or more of urine
remaining in the bladder after voiding, straight catheterization may be
performed for complete bladder emptying.
