Literature Review of Neurogenic Bladder Care

Kim, Won Ock

Abstract

The literature review about bladder management method given to maintain and improve health of neurogenic bladder patients was done. Because the study of neurogeinc bladder patients in nursing field is not enough, I tried to find report the study tendency through literature review. 1. There are five types of neurogenic bladder such as uninhibited neurgenic bladder, reflex neurogenic bladder, automonous neurogenic bladder, sensory paralytic neurogenic bladder, and motor paralytic neurogenic bladder. 2. The accurate assessment of neurogenic bladder is done mainly through urodynamics and especially cystometrogram and urethrogram are used. 3. As the study of therapeutic management, the effect of Desmopressin, bladder autoaugmentation, incision of external urethral sphincter muscle, subarachnoid block and pudendal never block using phenol was studied. 4. For the study of general management, the effect of bladder training program, intermittent catheterization and infection control has been studied but there has not been any obvious study in nursing field. Reviewed the study condition, it is necessary to develop bladder training program in order to increase life quality of neurogenic bladder patients.
