Abstract
Not to Knot a Catheter. Case Report of the Knotting of a Suprapubic Catheter
Highlights
Suprapubic catheters (SPCs) are commonly used to drain the bladder
Even though the possibility of catheter knotting has been widely acknowledged, knotting of SPCs has seldom been reported. This case report identifies the knotting of one such SPC in a child, and reviews the management and recommendations made in previous case reports
Since the urethral catheter (UC) was removed with great ease, it was postulated that an isolated knotting of the SPC was a possible cause
Summary
Suprapubic catheters (SPCs) are commonly used to drain the bladder. The possible risks of infection and damage to the bowel have been reported in several studies. Even though the possibility of catheter knotting has been widely acknowledged, knotting of SPCs has seldom been reported. This case report identifies the knotting of one such SPC in a child, and reviews the management and recommendations made in previous case reports
