Bedside ultrasound-guided percutaneous cystostomy in an infant in the neonatal intensive care unit

Abstract

We describe a case of an infant born at 39 weeks of gestation who was in the neonatal intensive care unit for postoperative management of congenital heart disease and underwent bedside ultrasound-guided percutaneous cystostomy to treat an iatrogenic urethral injury. The procedure was uneventful, successful, and no complications were noted. This case demonstrates that this procedure is safe and minimally invasive. Indications, contraindications, techniques, potential complications, and the safety of performing this procedure in a bedside setting are discussed.

Ultrasound‐guided placement of pigtail cystostomy tubes in dogs with urethral obstruction

“…Ultrasound‐guidance also reduces radiation exposure to patients and staff . This approach is described in people to facilitate cystostomy tube placement in challenging patients such as those that are obese or may have adhesions of bowel, as well as in the newborn . Ultrasound‐guided cystostomy tube placement may be utilized in the emergency department as it is quick, easy, and has a low reported incidence of complications …”

Modern view on the problem of urine diversion in children with severe urinary disorders

“…Бесспорно, что технология чистой интермиттирующей катетеризации (CIC -clean intermittent catheterization), предложенная J. Lapides, в силу очевидности и относительной простоты долго будут считать золотым стандартом и у детей и у взрослых [4] [8]. Достоинство чрескожной цистостомии -это то, что при необходимости это вмешательство можно провести непосредственно у постели больного, если этого требует ситуация (например, у пациентов в отделении реанимации и интенсивной терапии) [9].…”
