The interest of this study is given by the importance of proper handling of catheterization in the health of patients admitted to a hospital and are subjected to this technique. Increase its interest the need for implementation of evidence-based care, and limited scientific literature on the subject. The study population will be patients undergoing short-term urethral catheterization at the Internal Medicine Service in the University Hospital Alcorcón Foundation. The methodology of the study is experimental, randomized clinical trial without drug type. Interventions (prior clamped and free drainage) will be assigned in a randomized manner. Interventions and data collection of patients who met the inclusion criteria to join the study will be conducted during 2016 and the first quarter of 2017.
