Abstract: Persistent hematuria could trigger urinary retention, leading the patient to the emergency department for abdominal pain, decreased urinary output, anemia, and azotemia [1,2]. Conventional bladder clot evacuation requires a three-way catheter with continuous irrigation and aspiration with a syringe or Ellik evacuator [3]. Sometimes a large and well-organized hematoma requires an open cystostomy [1,4]. We want to introduce a combined method using hydrogen peroxide as well as suction technique with an endotracheal catheter to evacuate intravesical clots.
