Urinary catheters: history, current status, adverse events and research agenda
Journal of Medical Engineering & Technology, 2015 For more than 3500 years, urinary catheters have been used to drain the bladder when it fails to empty. For people with impaired bladder function and for whom the method is feasible, clean intermittent self-catheterization is the optimal procedure.

Flushing and Locking of Venous Catheters: Available Evidence and Evidence Deficit
Nursing Research and Practice, 2015 Flushing and locking of intravenous catheters are thought to be essential in the prevention of occlusion. The clinical sign of an occlusion is catheter malfunction and flushing is strongly recommended to ensure a well-functioning catheter.
