Abstrakt: Background: Given the associated morbidity, mortality, and financial consequences of catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs), efforts should be made to mitigate the risk. We sought to describe, and report results for a post-catheter removal bladder management protocol focused on decreasing catheter reinsertion, catheter days, and overall CAUTI risk.
Methods: This was a quality improvement initiative implemented over a 3-month period at a single urban, tertiary health care center. Patients with an indwelling urinary catheter deemed eligible for removal were followed and cared for according to the study protocol. Rates of catheter reinsertion, catheter days, and assessment of CAUTI risk were compared between cohorts.
Results: A total of 173 patients were eligible for protocol enrollment. Catheter reinsertion rate was 16% during the pilot, compared to 21% and 27% for the historical cohorts, (P = .02). The mean number of catheter day's during the study was 1.4 days, compared to 9.5 and 5.6 days in the historical cohorts (P = .004). Catheter hours (OR 1.010 95% CI 1.005 - 1.015 P < .0001.) was a predictor of catheter reinsertion during the pilot.
Conclusions: Our protocol resulted in a reduction of catheter reinsertion rates and number of catheter days. Expansion of this protocol to a larger patient cohort is required.
