ERN eUROGEN Webinar 11: Intermittent (self-)Catheterisation in children

This webinar was presented on 3rd November 2020 by Hanny Cobussen-Boekhorst (PhD, MANP, RN), a nurse practitioner and urotherapist specialising in continence and stomacare in the Division of Paediatric Urology in Radboudumc in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. Synopsis: The introduction of Intermittent Catheterisation (IC) represented a urological revolution for patients with different (neurological) diagnoses and bladder-emptying difficulties. Nowadays, the technique of IC is applied to all age groups and has become an important therapeutic tool in paediatric urology. The goal of teaching IC is to provide a bladder-management program that promotes optimal health, self-esteem and independence. From the very beginning, nurses were involved in this treatment and nowadays, in most countries, nurses teach and coach IC to patients. During the presentation, the history and definition of IC are discussed, as well as describing various ways of teaching IC to children. This session is aimed at both healthcare professionals and patient groups. eUROGEN is the European Reference Network for rare and complex urorectogenital diseases and conditions.
