Urethral intermittent catheterisation in adults

The 2024 EAUN Guidelines on Urethral intermittent catheterisation in adults provide comprehensive, evidence-based recommendations for best practices in intermittent catheterisation (IC) in adults. 

Covering topics from the updated catheter materials and complications to patient perspectives, these guidelines focus on promoting optimal bladder management while enhancing patients' quality of life. Significant updates include reduced recommendations (from 78 to 57) for clarity, a new patient experience section, and revised definitions of complications. Aimed primarily at urology nurses, the guidelines emphasize aseptic procedures, patient education, and tailored approaches to IC that account for lifestyle and comfort, ensuring safety and efficacy in urological care.
