Bladder rupture due to accidental oxygen insufflation via an indwelling urethral catheter--a report of two cases.
Two cases of bladder rupture caused by accidental insufflation of oxygen through an indwelling urethral catheter are described. Both patients were ill with multiple diseases. Conservative treatment, including an open indwelling urethral catheter, and surveillance of abdominal status seem appropriate when managing this complication.
