Previously published guidelines are available that provide comprehensive recommendations for detecting and preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). The intent of this document is to highlight practical recommendations in a concise format designed to assist acute care hospitals in implementing and prioritizing their catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) prevention efforts.

Targeting Biofilms in Translational Research, Device Development, and Industrial Sectors

A targeted approach against the biofilm phenotype is likely to improve infection outcomes wherein biofilms are the source of difficult-to-treat infections.

Effect of a Female External Urinary Catheter on Incidence of Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection

Introduction of a FEUC was associated with a statistically significant decrease in CAUTI rate among female intensive care patients, suggesting the FEUC may prevent the need for indwelling catheters in some situations.

Indwelling urinary catheter use and associated outcomes among adult patients undergoing surgery

An overview of the use of indwelling catheters among adult patients undergoing surgery found use of IUCs is necessary for certain surgeries as per existing guidelines and the lack of I UC removal instructions is one of the factors contributing to CAUTIs.

Unmet Needs in Complicated Urinary Tract Infections: Challenges, Recommendations, and Emerging Treatment Pathways

A multidisciplinary approach, including regulatory frameworks, provider education and public awareness campaigns, is crucial to limiting unnecessary treatments for asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) and uUTIs that can ultimately lead to more severe infections.

Prevention of catheter-associated UTI

We surveyed existing guidelines and literature on the prevention of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). Key principles include avoiding unnecessary urinary catheterization,…

Impact of Nurse-Led Multidisciplinary Rounds on the Reducing of the Unnecessary Use of Urinary Catheters for Hospitalized Patients

The use of a multidisciplinary approach to evaluate the need for the urinary catheters by hospitalized patients led by nursing staff was associated with a reduction of their unnecessary use.
