External catheters for urine monitoring in the ICU
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests two types of external catheters (devices worn outside the body) to see how well they measure urine output in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. It may help avoid the need for a tube inserted into the bladder.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and currently in the intensive care unit (ICU).
- You need your urine output monitored as part of your care.

- You do not have frequent bowel leakage without a fecal management system in place.
- You are not having moderate to heavy menstrual bleeding or vaginal bleeding that prevents using a tampon or menstrual cup.
- You do not have urinary retention (inability to empty your bladder).

This study tests an automated system that tracks how much urine ICU patients produce, which helps doctors monitor their health. It may lead to better care and faster detection of problems for patients like you.
This study looks at how well two types of urinary catheters work for women in the hospital who have trouble moving and need help managing urination. It compares the standard catheter with a newer external catheter that may be more comfortable and reduce infections.
This study compares two methods of securing a urinary catheter to the thigh to see which works better. It's for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who need a catheter for more than 48 hours.
This study looks at how urine output after being in the intensive care unit (ICU) can help detect early kidney problems. It may help doctors better monitor and protect kidney function in critically ill patients.
This study tests whether PureWick, an external catheter device (worn outside the body rather than inserted), can reduce problems women experience with traditional indwelling catheters. If you've had repeated catheter issues requiring medical visits, this trial may help you avoid those complications.
This trial compares two ways of monitoring fluid levels in intensive care patients to see which is more accurate. It may help doctors better manage fluids for people in critical care.
