AB Urinary  bladder  catheterization  in  children  can  serve  as  both  a  diagnostic  and  a  therapeutic  intervention.  Catheterization  is  a  simple,  sterile  procedure  that  can  be  performed  at  the  bedside  in  most  circumstances.  Ease  of  performing  procedure,  ability  of  nursing  to  catheterize,  and  decreased  pain  are  some  reasons  catheterization  has  largely  replaced  suprapubic  aspiration  as  the  primary  method  of  urine  collection  in  young  children.1  Children  usually  tolerate  the  procedure  well  when  it  is  done  carefully,  requiring  only  a  topical  anesthetic,  if  any.2,3
