| | CDC - Engineering out the Risk of Infection with Urinary Catheters |
 | | Use of indwelling urethral catheters should be limited to patients requiring relief of anatomic or physiologic outlet obstruction; patients undergoing surgical repair of the genitourinary tract (to facilitate healing); critically ill or postoperative patients who need their urinary output accurately measured; and debilitated, paralyzed, or comatose patients (to prevent skin breakdown and infected pressure ulcers). | | | Catheters should be inserted by trained health-care professionals using aseptic technique, including sterile gloves, a fenestrated sterile drape, and an effective cutaneous antiseptic, such as 10% povidone-iodine or 1% to 2% aqueous chlorhexidine. | | | The catheter and the drainage system should be manipulated as little as possible, and urine output should be monitored hourly only when clearly indicated by the patient's condition. |

| | Catheter insertion over a guidewire is associated with less discomfort and a significantly lower rate of mechanical complications than are those percutaneously inserted at a new site (135); in addition, this technique provides a means of preserving limited venous access in some patients. | | | Catheter replacement over a guidewire has become an accepted technique for replacing a malfunctioning catheter or exchanging a pulmonary artery catheter for a CVC when invasive monitoring no longer is needed. | | | Contamination of umbilical catheters in the newborn infant. |

| | Catheter ablation |
| | When the catheter is energized, the body conducts the energy from the catheter's tip, through the heart and to the electrode on the skin's surface, completing the circuit. | | | The technique of catheter ablation (meaning tube-guided removal) is used to interrupt the abnormal contractions in the heart, allowing normal heart beating to resume. | | | Catheter ablation involves delivering highly focused heat (or radio frequency energy) to specific areas of the heart. |

| | Embolization may be asymptomatic or accompanied by cardiac arrhythmias, chest pain, or a swishing sound in the ipsilateral ear with catheter flushes. | | | Catheter is no longer functional or required for therapy. | | | Although some clinicians focus on blood return to assess catheter tip and needle placement, this should probably be routinely checked less frequently (e.g., q 4 to 8 hours) because of the possibility of increasing risk of infection and of clotting the catheter. |

| | Catheter ablation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Catheter ablation is an invasive procedure used to remove a faulty electrical pathway from the hearts of those who are prone to developing cardiac arrhythmias such as supraventricular tachycardias (SVT) and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. | | | The catheter is then advanced towards the heart and high-frequency electrical impulses are used to induce the arrhythmia, and then ablate (surgically remove) the accessory pathway that is causing it. | | | Catheter ablation is usually performed by an electrophysiologist (a specially trained cardiologist) in a cath lab. |
