my mother underwent an aortic aneurysm repair still has catheter my aunt died of septic poisoning due to a similar event?
hi keeping the catheter for over a month is not required actually for a aortic aneurysm repair. it should be out forever maximum 8 days after the surgical procedure. at this point do catheter clamping every 3 hourly so as to train the bladder and try getting it removed as soon as possible. keeping it for longer periods of time will cause sepsis as you said. thanks
