What is the full term for IDCs ?

If it corresponds to indwelling urinary catheter, we don't use pre-filling urinary bladders but a supervised catheter's ablation protocol. It consists in attention on miction return, and if not, an in-out catheter by nurse all 4 hours until miction recovery.

Related, a few articles on the subject.
