Abstract
En 中文
Urethral catheterization is the standard method for obtaining sterile urine in nontoilet-trained children, but the conventional blind technique frequently results in futile attempts (“dry taps”) on empty bladders. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) offers the clinical advantage of confirming adequate urine volume to prevent mucosal trauma and procedural distress. However, its routine implementation may be limited by operator training requirements and potential workflow delays while waiting for bladder filling. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the efficacy of real-time POCUS-assisted versus standard blind urethral catheterization in pediatric patients.
