[Analysis of primary management of bladder malfunction in traumatic paraplegic patients].
Intermittent catheterisation is the demanded therapy of bladder paralysis during the spinal shock. We investigated the realisation of this concept. In 1994 after first treatment in other hospitals 97 patients were treated in the Thuringian Spinal Cord Centre Sülzhayn. The primary treatment of the paralysed bladder was: indwelling catheter: 44 patients (45.4%), suprapubic catheter: 30 patients (30.9%). Only 15 patients (15.5%) were catheterized intermittently. No urological treatment was carried out in seven cases.


CONCLUSIONS
The primary treatment of bladder analysis in spinal cord injured patients has to be improved.
