katetreerimise

Kateterimine is a medical procedure used to insert a catheter into a body cavity or vessel to drain fluid, deliver medication, or monitor body functions. The term "kateterimine" is derived from the Greek word "kathetos," meaning "to pour in," and "trepein," meaning "to rub." The procedure is commonly used in various medical specialties, including urology, nephrology, and gastroenterology.

The most common type of catheter used in kateterimine is the urinary catheter, which is inserted into the urethra to drain urine from the bladder. This procedure is typically performed in patients who are unable to void urine independently, such as those with urinary tract infections, neurological conditions, or after certain surgeries.

In nephrology, kateterimine may involve the insertion of a nephrostomy tube into the kidney to drain urine in cases of kidney stones or urinary obstruction. In gastroenterology, a gastrostomy tube may be inserted into the stomach to provide nutritional support or to drain stomach contents in cases of obstruction or perforation.

Kateterimine is a relatively simple procedure that can be performed in an outpatient setting or in a hospital. The catheter is typically inserted under local anesthesia, and the procedure is usually completed within a few minutes. Post-procedure care may include monitoring for infection, managing discomfort, and ensuring proper catheter function.

Complications of kateterimine are relatively rare but can include infection, bleeding, and damage to surrounding tissues. Proper catheter care, including regular cleaning and monitoring, can help minimize these risks. In some cases, the catheter may need to be removed or replaced, depending on the patient's condition and the specific medical need.
