Our Publications
Voiding Trials
The article provides a step-by-step protocol for performing a successful voiding trial in patients with indwelling Foley catheters, particularly those in long-term care. It explains the risks associated with chronic Foley catheter use, such as urinary tract infections, and the challenges of removing the catheter, especially in elderly patients whose bladder function may be delayed. The protocol includes the use of medications like Flomax and Bethanechol to aid bladder function and specific steps for monitoring post-void residual (PVR) volumes. The goal is to ensure safe catheter removal and restore bladder control. The authors, Melissa Blackburn and Martha Klay, both experts in geriatric urology, offer their insights on managing these trials in vulnerable patients.
Vaginal Estrogen
This article discusses the advantages of using topical vaginal estrogen for elderly female patients, particularly in long-term care settings, to alleviate symptoms such as urinary tract infections, dryness, and atrophy. Unlike oral estrogen, which affects multiple systems in the body, topical estrogen targets the vaginal area directly and has fewer systemic side effects. The article explains the differences in administration methods, including creams, suppositories, and tablets. It highlights how each serves unique purposes for patient care. Benefits of topical estrogen include improved vaginal health, support for beneficial bacteria, and prevention of discomfort from atrophy-related issues. Overall, the article aims to educate healthcare providers on the importance of topical estrogen for enhancing the quality of life and comfort for geriatric patients with urogenital symptoms.
