Conditions studied: Simulation Study on Urethral Catheter Traction for Postoperative Hemorrhage Control After TURP

In brief

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition among elderly men. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the gold standard surgical procedure, but postoperative bleeding is a frequent complication. Traditional catheter traction methods to control bleeding-such as fixing the catheter to the thigh or abdomen or using weights-have limitations, including restricted patient mobility, inconsistent pressure, and risk of infection or irritation. This study aims to develop an innovative urethral catheter traction device that provides effective and stable pressure, is easy to apply, and minimizes potential complications. The device was tested in a simulated environment on mannequins. Both users and investigators were aware of the intervention, while outcome assessment was blinded. The study also evaluates healthcare professionals' perspectives on the usability, safety, and practicality of the device.
