0 a long, very thin tube used to take liquids out of the body --
1 a thin tube put into the body temporarily to help remove a liquid or to put in medicine --
The patient is imaged and planned and the catheters attached to the afterloader.
The catheter was then positioned to achieve a ventricular wave form which could be recorded through the holes of the catheter proximal to the balloon.
An alternative is to use a catheter coated with a bactericidal substance.
The tip of the catheter was positioned near the sigmoid flexure anterior to the point at which the vein leaves the udder.
Figure 1 presents original chart recordings and compares rapid inflation of the balloon catheter with progressive inflation.
Pressure measurements and angiograms were repeated after implantation and all catheters removed.
The catheters are much simpler and less costly.
When labour begins, the patient should be monitored carefully using electrocardiographic, arterial, and epidural catheters.
