Lidocaine Spray Use on Patients Comfort in Undergoing Bladder Catheterization
Sponsor: Ankara City Hospital Bilkent
Summary
Bladder catheterization is a procedure frequently performed in emergency departments and may cause symptoms such as pain and discomfort in patients. This study hypothesizes that lidocaine spray application will improve patient compliance and comfort from the outset and facilitate smoother medical procedures. In our prospective, case-controlled study, the patients were divided into two groups: Group L (lidocaine) and Group P (placebo). Pain conditions after bladder catheterization were evaluated at 0 minutes (during the procedure) and 15, 30 and 60 minutes after the procedure. Face Legs Arm Cry Consolability Pain Scale (FLACC) and Wong-Baker pain scales were used. All time periods in Group L, FLACC score and Wang Baker scores were found to be statistically significantly lower.The differences between the first measurement and the measurements at 15-30-60 minutes of the FLACC score were found to be significantly higher in group P than in group L. As a result, we recommend that lidocaine spray be applied before urinary catheter insertion. This study showed that lidocaine spray increased patients\' sleep at the end and reduced the feeling of restlessness by reducing pain.

Interventions
Lidocaine spray
4 puffs of lidocaine spray was applied to the glans penis and urethral meatus, and after 5 minutes, the appropriate method and sterilization were used to apply a catheter gel, and a Foley catheter was placed in the bladder. After bladder catheterization, pain scores were evaluated by a neutral emergency medicine physician at 0 minutes (during the procedure), and at 15, 30, and 60 minutes post-procedure. The Face Legs Arms Cry Consolability Pain Scale (FLACC) and Wong-Baker pain scales were used for this evaluation.
Placebo
No medication/application will be administered as placebo.
