| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | ABCDE, hemodynamic assessment |
| 2 | Hb, creatinine, blood group, coagulation profile |
| 3 | Review anticoagulants |
| 4 | Ultrasonography (tumor, stones, clots) |
| 5 | Clot retention → three-way catheter + irrigation |
| 6 | If unsuccessful → cystoscopy |
| 7 | Trauma → CT urography |
| 8 | Elective urological evaluation |
