Intermittent self-catheterization in tetraplegic patients: a 6-year experience gained in the spinal cord unit in Prague

Original language description

Objectives: To present a system of urological care for patients with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) in the Spinal Cord Unit in Prague. Methods: Forty-one out of 412 patients hospitalized with acute SCI between 2007 and 2012 with motor complete SCI (AIS A, B) at the C4-C7 motor level and with sufficient follow-up duration were selected. Patients were trained using a male bladder catheterization model (37 with a transurethral catheter and 4 with a suprapubic catheter) to perform intermittent catheterization (IC) using an ergohand device, and were later encouraged to perform self-catheterization. Results: On the basis of the motor level of the SCI, 8 out of the 41 study patients were assigned to group 1 (C4), 11 to group 2 (C5), 15 to group 3 (C6) and7 to group 4 (C7). All patients in group 1 had an indwelling urinary catheter. In group 2, 6 patients (54.6%) learned to perform IC, with 2 of them needing another person's assistance. In 5 patients (45.5%), suprapubic cystostomy was main
