Abstrakt: We assessed hygiene with wet wipes in bedridden patients with urinary catheters for catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) prevention. CAUTIs occurred in 16.5% of the control group compared to 5.9% of the intervention group ( P = .035). Hygiene with wet wipes can substitute for conventional hygiene for preventing CAUTI.
