Poor hygiene is one of the most common and serious catheter care mistakes. Failing to thoroughly wash hands before handling the catheter or not properly cleaning the insertion site can lead to urinary tract infections. Other common errors include:
– Using incorrect catheter size or type
– Insufficient lubrication
– Improper insertion technique
– Not emptying the drainage bag regularly for an indwelling catheter. Not emptying the bag could also lead to additional medical complications as well (autonomic dysreflexia, vesicoureteral reflux)
