I just started work on an ICU unit and my unit educator was me to research P/O Obst. Cath. I have looked online, in my med surg book and I can not find anything, I need causes, s/s and treatment. If anyone would mind helping me I would very much apperciate it!!!

Thanks!

Okay - I gotta ask: I'm not familiar with these abbreviations - what are you asking about?

And then my next question would be: why in the heck with all the "you can't use abbreviations for ANYTHING" would your instructor post such a thing? School should be teaching absolutely no abbreviations because that's how its suposed to be.

And...what kind of cath? Foley catheter, IV catheter, Permcath???
