Suleiman A, et al. - Researchers performed a comparison of the effect of continuous bladder catheterization (CC) with that of intermittent bladder catheterization (IC) on the duration of the second stage of labor. No significant differences were noted between the two groups with regard to delivery mode, third-stage duration, and incidences of postpartum hemorrhage, bladder retention, and urinary tract infection. Thereby suggesting that duration of the second stage of labor is not influenced by bladder catheterization type in nulliparous women receiving an epidural.
