I inserted a catheter to male patient,due to retaining a 880 mls of urine to his bladder.after the catheter inserted there was not enough urine came out,,i noticed hematuria.after 3 hours still the urine output is very low and bladder scanner done and showed 810 mls.Is it possble that i entered the catheter wrongly,have i caused more injury to his bladder?
I feel that I should post an update. Shortly after my above post I was again successful through a change in my technique. When I got to where the "blockage" was I rotated the catheter and slowly progress the catheter without pain! I am very relieved! However, after removing the catheter I had a lot of burning sensation. Was this burning a result of the rotation?
