A Change in Catheter Care to Reduce CAUTI's

Book Description
The use of urinary catheters has become a common standard of care for most patients that are going to be admitted to the hospital. According to Jaggi and Sissodia (2012) Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI) contribute 30%-40% of all the nosocomial infections and they are associated with substantially increased institutional death rates. These rates will only continue to climb if there is not better catheter care implemented. The solution to this implementation of better catheter care is conduct a study on the old standard maintenance and care using soap and water as opposed to the current practice of chlorhexadine wipes and comparing it to the use of a specialized maintenance and care using non-medicated bath wipes. The setting would take place in the intensive care unit and would be conducted on those patients with an indwelling urinary catheter for six months. The first three months would be trialing the soap and water method and the last three months trialing the use of the non-medicated bath wipes. The materials and would consist of a bath basin, soap and water for the first three months and then non-medicated bath wipes for the last three months. The methods for implementation would be a literature review to see what resources were available and then an educational tool, demonstration on a manikin and a reverse demonstration would be done with an evaluation after the demonstration. Results of proper maintenance and care of the indwelling urinary catheter could potentially decrease the CAUTI rates significantly once patient care staff was educated properly. According to Strouse (2015) chlorhexidine (CHG) wipes were not found to lower incidence of CAUTI and these are the techniques that are being used currently and with this evidence the practice needs to change. Once the staff is properly educated and demonstrations were done, the project would be implemented and could potentially be a big benefit for the hospital by reducing CAUTI's.
