Within a hospital setting many adult patients develop a catheter associated urinary infection due to catheters being left in for long period of times and not reassessed for the needs of the catheter. This increases the risk of catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI’s) for patients and could prolong their stay in the hospital increasing hospital cost and turning the infection into a hospital acquired infections. Implementing a nurse driven protocol for the removal of urinary catheters and management versus current practices will help reduce catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI). Using an improved protocol for the use and need of these catheters can not only reduce the length of time the catheters are left in place, but it can help reduce the number of catheter infections in patients throughout when the protocol is used correctly. Possible even decreasing the number of catheters that are used for non-appropriate reasons for catheter placement. These articles help support the nurse-driven protocol and the reasons for CAUTI’s within a hospital setting.
