| | Guideline for Prevention of Catheter-associated Urinary Tract Infections |
 | | Generally, urinary catheterization is indicated 1) to relieve urinary tract obstruction, 2) to permit urinary drainage in patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction and urinary retention, 3) to aid in urologic surgery or other surgery on contiguous structures, and 4) to obtain accurate measurements of urinary output in critically ill patients. | | | The "no-touch" method of intermittent catheterization advocated by Guttmann (21) is generally reserved for patients hospitalized during the acute phase of their spinal cord injury, while the clean, nonsterile method of Lapides (22) is frequently used by ambulatory patients for whom the practice of aseptic catheter insertion is difficult to maintain. | | | For certain types of patients with bladder-emptying dysfunction, such as those with spinal cord injuries or children with meningomyelocele, a third alternative, intermittent catheterization, is commonly employed. |

| | Nonintermittent catheterization, which is initiated in a hospital or nursing home setting, uses the same basic technique for insertion of the urinary tract catheter. | | | Patients who practice intermittent catheterization can reduce their risks for UTI by using antiseptic techniques for insertion and catheter care. | | | Patients requiring intermittent catheterization should be well trained in the technique by a qualified health care professional. |

| | However, for patients who are bedbound and cared for in the home, the use of an indwelling catheter may be preferable to the possibility of skin breakdown associated with incontinence. | | | The incidence of bacteriuria was higher in patients catheterized on medical units than among those catheterized in the operating room, presumably due to better use of sterile technique in the operating room. | | | Key search terms were urinary catheter, meatal urinary, perineal urinary, skin urinary, urinary catheter irrigation, open system catheter, closed system catheter, urinary catheter infection, urinary catheter care, assessment, evidence based practice, bacteriuria, and urinary catheter encrustation. |

| | Currently, it is unknown what proportion of patients who require indwelling urinary catheters receive suprapubic catheters, however, this practice is uncommon. | | | it is probably appropriate to use since it is a component of the only causal pathway in the disease process between suprapubic catheterization and an important clinical outcome (e.g., symptomatic UTI or catheter-related bacteremia). | | | The patient populations for these studies varied but generally included patients with acute urinary retention and those undergoing various surgical procedures. |

| | Although the determination of medical procedures and the patientâs medical status is a medical decision, the licensed nurse has the right and the obligation to question orders and decisions which are contrary to acceptable standards and to refuse to participate in procedures which may result in harm to the patient. | | | It is within the clinical judgement of the Registered Nurse to determine at what point post-operatively this may be delegated to the unlicensed person. | | | An appropriately prepared unlicensed person is a non-nurse who has successfully completed a formal training program specifically related to urinary catheterizations. |

| | Some physicians advocate monitoring patients for time-to-obstruction of urinary catheter, with the catheter changed just before the patient would be expected to obstruct.26 With this approach, some patients required catheter changes weekly, and others did not need them for several weeks. | | | Other patients prefer its comfort and convenience.1 Disadvantages of suprapubic catheters include the risk of cellulitis, leakage, hematoma at the puncture site, prolapse through the urethra1 and the psychologic barrier of insertion through the abdominal wall. | | | Catheters impregnated with various substances have not proved to be beneficial in patients with long-term catheterization. |
