As the population ages the prevalence of long-term urinary catheters, especially in the elderly, is going to increase. Urinary catheters are usually placed to manage urinary retention or incontinence that cannot be managed any other way. There is significant morbidity associated with an indwelling catheter. The commonest problems are catheter blockages, infection and bladder stones. These will ...
conclusions early primary realignment of posterior urethral disruption had significant complications. in this study we did not have a control group, thus we could not compare the complications of delayed repair and early primary realignment of the posterior urethra. we recommend further case-control studies with larger sample size. results a total of 24 patients were evaluated while seven, elev...
PURPOSE To evaluate the effectiveness of a nurse-driven indwelling urinary catheter removal protocol in an acute care setting. BACKGROUND The most common hospital-acquired infection is catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). These infections account for 40% of all hospital-acquired infections. Although indwelling urinary catheters may be a needed intervention, studies have demons...
Objective To determine whether antibiotic prophylaxis at the time of removal of a urinary catheter reduces the risk of subsequent symptomatic urinary tract infection. Design Systematic review andmeta-analysis of studies published before November 2012 identified through PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library; conference abstracts for 2006-12 were also reviewed. Inclusion criteria Studi...
Multiple evidence-based guidelines have suggested clinicians consider external collection devices (ECD) as alternatives to indwelling catheters. Nevertheless, there is a dearth of evidence-based resources concerning their use. An expert consensus panel was convened to review the current state of the evidence, indications for ECDs as an alternative to an indwelling urinary catheter, identify kno...
DESCRIPTION A 93-year-old man presented with gross haematuria for 1 month. The urine analysis showed numerous RBCs in microscopy. The renal function was normal and urine cytology revealed nothing. Tracing the patient’s history it was found that he had received radical prostatectomy 20 years ago, but he denied any other trauma or surgery history. An indwelling catheter followed by normal saline ...
BACKGROUND Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are common, morbid, and costly. Nearly 25% of hospitalized patients are catheterized yearly, and 10% develop urinary tract infections. Evidence-based guidelines exist for indwelling urinary catheter management but are not consistently followed. METHODS A pre/post intervention design was used in this quality improvement project t...
BACKGROUND Prolonged catheterization is the primary risk factor for catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). Reminder systems are interventions used to prompt the removal of unnecessary urinary catheters. To summarize the effect of urinary catheter reminder systems on the rate of CAUTI, urinary catheter use, and the need for recatheterization, we performed a systematic review and me...
BACKGROUND Clean intermittent self-catheterization is accepted worldwide as a standard of care for patients with long-standing need for urinary bladder decompression. Evidence of its routine practice in our low-resource setting is lacking, leading to increasing number of patients with a long-standing indwelling urinary catheter. OBJECTIVE To seek the opinion of patients already using indwelli...
Background and Objectives: Healthcare-associated infections is a major health care concern posing potentially serious negative impact on patient safety and outcome. In this paper, we report this microbiological profile and the prevalence of Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTIs). Methods: This was a prospective observational study for...
