Although not routinely taught at most institutions, suprapubic catheterization (SPC) is often required in the clinical setting.
Learn how to perform a suprapubic (SP) urinary catheterization by seamlessly moving between the learning media; text, video, anatomy and simulator. In the simulator, learn how to perform a SPC in learn mode or test yourself in test mode by choosing medical tools with your computer mice and performing the procedure in a virtual environment. In test mode you may also choose multi-choice questions to test your understanding. Examine your performance in either mode in your personalized logbook and print this record for your own documentation.
Read a concise step-by-step description of how to perform a SPC, steps are based upon evidence-based medicine and have hyperlinks to the relevant abstracts in Pubmed. An ultrasound-guided SP catheterization may be required. Watch the procedure performed by an expert and clearly identify the landmarks pubic symphysis and umbilicus.
In the anatomy section, refresh the anatomy of the lower abdomen for a female by viewing a sagittal plane illustrating the urinary bladder and pubic symphysis relationship.
In the simulator, use clinically relevant case scenarios to aid learning the sequential steps required for successful suprapubic catheterization.
Suprapubic catheterization is a complex procedure with many steps. This module straightforwardly teaches the steps in a refreshing and stimulating manner.
