Faulty indwelling urinary catheter detection
A defective medical accessory can imitate a typical medical complication

English version České info

Seldom, the physician faces cases of suboptimal quality of manufacture for various ancillary medical materials. More specifically, a defective medical aid can lend dimensions similar with those of a typical medical complication. Naturally the next step is the investigation and management of complication. The physician will be supposed to have in mind that certain defective medical accessories can be accountable for causing a particular complication. The ultrasonic investigation is a initiative that probably will display the problem and may solve it. In this particular case, unfortunate stitching of indwelling catheter in tissues was not compatible with timing of its insertion at the end of operation. Ultrasonography was rendered possible in the proof of the medical complication absence. Also it guided to the direct and instantaneous resolution of the subject.
