"Urinary catheters are used to drain the bladder. Your health care provider may recommend a catheter for short-term or long-term use because you have or had:
Urinary incontinence (leakage of urine or the inability to control when you urinate)
Urinary retention (being unable to empty the bladder when you need to)
Surgery that made a catheter necessary, such as prostate or gynecological surgery
Other medical conditions such as multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, or dementia"

insertion of a urinary catheter
A catheter is a term used for any thin tube inserted into the body - not just a urinary catheter. So, you would use a catheter as intended.You would insert a urinary catheter and secure it by inflating the balloon.You would insert a central line catheter and x-ray it before use, then use it to administer medications.Etc...
A urinary catheter is a tube that a nurse would insert into the penis through the urethra to help with urine flow. It is the same catheter, whether to catheterize a male or female. A one-time catheter has no collection bag. An indwelling catheter has long tubing that ends in a collection bag that is hung on the lower side of the bed.

In aged care, IDC typically stands for "indwelling catheter," which refers to a catheter that is placed inside the body to drain urine from the bladder. This type of catheter is commonly used in older adults who have difficulty urinating on their own.
At most they would get you something to calm you down my guess is. It depends on the hospital. It can be uncomfortable but not painful and you get a numbing gel before hand. The pain from not being able to pee and you have a full bladder is 100 times worse. Sedating someone is a much bigger thing and risky. I have never seen a patient being in pain when I gave him a catheter and I worked with it for over 2 years.
Indwelling
air bubbles in the catheter would be taken as calculus
The main ICD-9 code when related to urinary incontinence is 788. The proper ICD-9 code would have to include the primary diagnosis for the incontinence, however 707 is the ICD-9 code for chronic ulcers of the skin.
