Patients with cardiac or chronic venous insufficiency who were treated with stinging nettle juice for two weeks experienced a significant increase in urinary output and a slight decrease in systolic blood pressure. Use of indwelling urethral catheters should be limited to patients requiring relief of anatomic or physiologic outlet obstruction; patients undergoing surgical repair of the genitourinary tract (to facilitate healing); critically ill or postoperative patients who need their urinary output accurately measured; and debilitated, paralyzed, or comatose patients (to prevent skin breakdown and infected pressure ulcers). Aside from a reduced risk of pneumonia, nosocomial infections, and pressure ulcers with appropriate use of turning beds, there are other potential clinical benefits: urinary output is increased, pulmonary blood flow is redistributed, and the gastrointestinal tract is stimulated. |
