Completed
Conditions
Catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD) is defined as an urgent urination or a burning sensation in the suprapubic area. A study showed that 55% of the patients in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) experienced moderate or severe CRBD symptoms. CRBD leads to restlessness and agitation and it also enhances the risk of falling out of bed.Moreover, it may increase the workload of nursing staff in the PACU. Therefore, early management of CRBD during anesthesia recovery is clinically significant.
