| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Neurogenic bladder(NGB) is managed with clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) during daytime.The efficacy of nocturnal bladder emptying(NBE) is reported, in cases in which CIC does not effectively manage the neurogenic bladder.We devised a NBE catheter for infants. The catheter there is a risk of retrograde urinary tract infection.Therefore, we investigated the use of a NBE catheter to maintain low intravesical pressure and the requirement to install check valves in NBE catheters.As a result, NBE catheters could maintain low intravesical pressure.Installing check valves did not decrease new bacterial growth.Further more,we investigated the utility and safety of this catheter for NGB.Children with NGB who were under CIC management but who had urinary tract infections(UTIs) who were introduced the NBE method.As a result,the risk of UTI decreased,and it prevented further bladder dysfunction.This NBE method is useful for infants with NGB.
