    Catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD) affects 47-95% of patients post-anesthesia, increasing discomfort and postoperative delirium risk.

  • 2

    The study evaluates an enhanced Xiao-Xu-Ming-Tang hot compress as a cost-effective intervention for preventing CRBD.

  • 3

    Ninety patients undergoing transurethral ureteral laser lithotripsy were randomly assigned to either the CM group or control group.

  • 4

    Primary endpoint assessed was the incidence of moderate or severe CRBD 30 minutes post-surgery, alongside secondary endpoints.

  • 5

    The findings aim to support the use of the hot compress in clinical practice for alleviating CRBD and improving recovery.
