Abstract

Catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD) is a clinical syndrome frequently observed in patients undergoing urinary catheterization. The main risk factors are male sex, catheter diameter and type of surgery.

There is a wide variety of medications available for the treatment and prevention of this syndrome. The best known are antimuscarinics, which already used for the treatment of overactive bladder. These drugs have the disadvantage of producing adverse effects such as facial flushing and dry mouth.

Other drugs, such as antiepileptics and analgesics, have been used for the treatment of this pathology. The last one that could be effective in the management of discomfort related to urinary catheterization is magnesium sulfate. In addition to being useful in treating various pathologies, it can be effective in reducing the incidence and severity of CRBD.
