Zusammenfassung: | Urethral catheterization permits direct drainage of the urinary bladder and is often performed in pediatric practice. This video demonstrates catheterization of the urinary bladder in the female infant or child.
Appropriate Catheter Sizes for Use in Girls.
The choice of catheter depends on the size of the urethra and the age of the child. The correct catheter sizes range from 4 to 6 French in newborns, 6 to 8 French in infants, 10 to 12 French in prepubertal girls, and up to 14 French in adolescents. |
