Conditions

Catheter Site Discomfort

Brief summary

Catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD) is not uncommon in male patients under general anesthesia, and it may cause patient agitation and exacerbated postoperative pain. In this study, the investigators will enroll male patients undergoing elective colonal and rectal surgery with surgical duration of at least 2 h, requiring catheterization of the urinary bladder with urinary catheterization after anesthetic induction, and compare preoperative education with image illustrations combined with local tetracaine mucilage vs. local tetracaine mucilage alone in alleviating CRBD during the post-operative period.

Interventions

OTHERPreoperative education with image illustrations and/or local tetracaine mucilage

The patients were given preoperative education with image illustrations and/or local tetracaine mucilage to alleviate CRBD during the post-operative period.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The incidence of postoperative CRBD6 hoursThe incidence of postoperative CRBD; CRBD was assessed according to the following scaling system: no CRBD; mild CRBD (complaint about CRBD on questioning only); moderate CRBD (complaint about CRBD without enquiring); and severe CRBD (complaint about CRBD without enquiring, with urinary urgency demonstrated by a spontaneous behavioural response such as flailing limb, verbal responses, or attempt to remove the catheter)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The severity of postoperative CRBD6 hoursThe severity of CRBD was assessed according to the following scaling system: no CRBD; mild CRBD (complaint about CRBD on questioning only); moderate CRBD (complaint about CRBD without enquiring); and severe CRBD (complaint about CRBD without enquiring, with urinary urgency demonstrated by a spontaneous behavioural response such as flailing limb, verbal responses, or attempt to remove the catheter)
The incidence of emergence agitation6 hoursUsing Riker Sedation-Agitation Scale, where 5 to 7 represents agitation and 1 to 3 represents deep sedation
The incidence of postoperative pain6 hoursThe incidence of postoperative pain;Using a visual analog scale (VAS) score of 0-10, where 0 represents no pain and 10 represents worst imaginable pain.
The severity of postoperative pain6 hoursUsing a visual analog scale (VAS) score of 0-10, where 0 represents no pain and 10 represents worst imaginable pain.
Incidenc of adverse events6 hoursIncidenc of adverse events, such asrespiratory depression (SpO2\<90%), deep sedation, and toxicity of tetracaine
