An indwelling catheter was placed in an anticubital vein.

A catheter left inside the body, either temporarily or permanently, may be referred to as an indwelling catheter.

In the hospital setting, they cause wound infections after surgery, pneumonias, and bloodstream infections from indwelling catheters.

Indwelling catheters are now available for patients with recurrent effusions who are not suitable for pleurodesing.

In an epidural, an indwelling catheter may be placed that avails for additional injections later, while a spinal is almost always a one-shot only.

In addition, indwelling catheters pose the risk of infection and ulceration, and some patients may also develop lipodystrophy due to the infusion sets.

An external, Texas, urisheat, or condom catheter is used for incontinent males and carries a lower risk of infection than an indwelling catheter.

Risks for squamous cell tumors in the bladder include indwelling catheters [38,39] and S. haematobium cystitis.

Right after the operation you will have what doctors call an indwelling catheter, meaning that the drainage tube will be left in the pouch to drain continuously.

An indwelling catheter is more commonly placed in the setting of epidural analgesia or anaesthesia than with spinal analgesia or anaesthesia.

Whereas focal areas are more common, diffuse involvement is seen in chronically irritated bladders, such as in paraplegics or those with bladder stones or indwelling catheters.

The block can be extended by placing an indwelling catheter, which may be connected to a mechanical or electronic infusion pump for continuous administration of local anesthetic solution.

Risks of bladder augmentation include incomplete voiding of the bladder post-surgery (resulting in the patient having to undergo intermittent catheterisation or an indwelling catheter), acute intestinal obstruction due to adhesions some years after surgery, and, in extremely rare cases, cancers of the intestinal tissue within the bladder.
