Objective To investigate cost-effectiveness of no indwelling urinary catheter in pulmonary lobectomy patients and to confirm the advances of no indwelling urinary catheter. Methods We recruited 148 lung cancer patients who were scheduled for pulmonary lobectomy under general anesthesia in West China Hospital from July through December 2015. These patients were divided into two groups including an indwelling urinary catheter group (74 patients, 45 males and 29 females, at age of 52.55±19.87 years) and a no indwelling urinary catheter group (74 patients, 42 males and 32 females, at age of 54.03±16.66 years). Indexes of cost-effectiveness of the two groups were compared. Results There was no statistical difference between the two groups in duration of indwelling catheter (1.56±0.0.65 d versus 1.68±0.91 d, P=0.077). Material expense(4 811.48 yuan versus 296.74 yuan, P=0.045), cost of nursing care (7 413.32 yuan versus 457.32 yuan, P=0.013), and total expense (12 224.8 yuan versus 754.06 yuan, P=0.000) in the indwelling catheter group were higher than those in the no indwelling catheter group. Material expense per patient (65.02±5.62 yuan/patient-time versus 4.01±0.00 yuan/patient-time, P=0.000), cost of nursing care per patient (100.18±7.19 yuan/patient-time versus 6.18±1.22 yuan/patient-time, P=0.000), and total cost per patient (165.20±12.81 yuan/patienttime versus 10.19±1.22 yuan/patient-time, P=0.000) in the indwelling catheter group were higher than those in the no indwelling catheter group. Conclusion Both costs and labor of nurse can be cut down for appropriate lung cancer patients undergoing lobectomy without routine indwelling urinary catheter.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the effect of clamping catheter and free drainage for patients with neurogenic bladder with indwelling catheter. MethodsThe PubMed, EMbase, CINAHL, EBSCO, Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) related to the objects from inception to January 8, 2022. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. ResultsA total of 7 RCTs involving 586 patients were included. Meta-analysis showed that clamping catheter significantly reduced time of first void (SMD=−1.03, 95%CI −1.71 to −0.36, P=0.03) and increased volume of first void (MD=52.72, 95%CI 28.84 to 76.59, P<0.01). However, there was no significant difference in residual urine volume, incidence of urinary retention or urinary tract infection between the two groups. ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that the advantage of clamping catheter for patients with neurogenic bladder with indwelling catheter is not obvious. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
