āAbout this lecture:
Urinary catheterization is a common procedure in veterinary medicine, essential for managing urinary tract obstructions, monitoring urine output, and facilitating diagnostic sampling. This presentation will provide a comprehensive overview of urinary catheter placement in both male and female cats and dogs. Topics include indications, equipment selection, aseptic technique, step-by-step catheterization procedures and troubleshooting complications. Emphasis will be placed on minimizing patient discomfort, preventing infection and ensuring accurate placement through anatomical understanding and practical tips.
