I assume you're meaning In Dwelling Urine Catheters? Consider Does your pt really need the catheter (ie have they failed a trial of void) or are you inserting it/retaining it for your own convenience such as to avoid getting pans for your patient and having to roll them and possibly change their sheets? So long as you close curtains to insert, check, empty and remove it you should be fine. Catheters are the biggest cause of hospital acquired infections in Australia so avoid at all costs.

What is a cathider?

There are several types of catheters but I'm assuming you mean urinary catheters. It is a device that is inserted through the urethra and into the bladder to empty the bladder of urine, (the urine comes out through the tubing of the catheter and empties into a bag. Reusing catheters can be dangerous because of the risk of infection. Any bacteria, germs, etc. that touch or enter the tubing can travel up into the bladder and cause acute and chronic infections. Most people who reuse catheters have to be very careful and must dip the tubing and insertion device in boiling water prior to reusing and the risk is still greater than that with disposable catheters


when catheters fall out?

When catheters fall out, it can lead to complications such as infection, leakage, or retention of urine. It's essential to address the situation promptly by assessing the catheter site and ensuring proper hygiene. If a catheter falls out unexpectedly, medical assistance should be sought to prevent any potential health issues and to determine whether re-insertion or an alternative approach is necessary. Always follow healthcare provider recommendations for catheter care and management.
