BLADDER IRRIGATION: CONTINUOUS -- PERFORMING

Course overview

Continuous bladder irrigation (CBI) is a moderately invasive method of instilling bladder irrigant and is most commonly performed to maintain urinary catheter patency by removing tissue, clots, mucous fragments, and/or sediment following prostate or bladder surgery (e.g., transurethral resection of the prostate [TURP]). This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of CBI. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
