I have recently been told that when cathing a patient you cannot collect more than 1000mL. Could someone explain this to me? I haven't found a satisfactory answer in my books or on the web.

One of my patients has to be cath'd twice a day. He voids first, then I cath him to finish emptying the bladder. However, I have another patient who can go 21 hours without voiding. We cath her after it has been 12 waking hours. Neither, to my knowle...

What confused me is that I was told that I'm not supposed to completely empty the bladder. However, my patient has to be cath'd because his bladder doesn't empty all the way.
