Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Randomized, clinical trial on the preventive effects of butylscopolamine on early postoperative catheter-related bladder discomfort.
Postoperative catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD) can be a distressing complication for patients in whom a urinary catheter was inserted during an operation. Our randomized, dual-center, clinical trial investigated the effects of butylscopolamine on the prevention of postoperative CRBD in patients undergoing various operations. ⋯ Intravenous administration of butylscopolamine at the end of an operation decreases effectively the incidence and severity of early postoperative CRBD without adverse effects.
