Abstract:
Background: Using alternatives to indwelling urinary catheters plays a vital role in reducing catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs). We assessed the impact of introducing female external catheters on urinary catheter utilization and CAUTIs. Methods: In a 500-bed academic medical center, female external catheters were implemented on October 1, 2017, with use encouraged for eligible females with urinary incontinence but not meeting other standard indications for urinary catheters. Nurses were educated and trained on female external catheter application and maintenance, and infect

Abstract:
Silicone urinary catheters are broadly employed in medical practice. However, they are susceptible to inducing catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) due to bacterial adherence to the catheter’s surface, and they exhibit a high friction coefficient, which can greatly affect their effectiveness and functionality. Thus, the development of a silicone urinary catheter with antibacterial properties and lubricity is in strong demand. We hereby developed a poly(vinyl acetate) carrier coating to load chlorhexidine acetate and applied a hydrogel coating primarily composed of polyvinylpyr

Abstract Background Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) have been shown to increase hospital length of stay, healthcare costs, morbidity, and mortality. Studies that evaluate the role of urinary catheter design in preventing CAUTI are lacking. One such design is the double-balloon (DB) urinary catheter that has a second distal balloon; this design is aimed at reducing mucosal injury and inhibiting coiling of the in situ catheter. We carried out a comparative study to (a) determine whether CAUTI rates differ for different types of urinary catheters, and (b) identify risk factor

Although guidance is that only symptomatic UTI should be treated, except in pregnancy, bacteriuria in catheterized patients is frequently overinvestigated and antibiotics overused.

Urinary incontinence (UI), defined by the International Continence Society as “the complaint of any involuntary leakage of urine” [1], is believed to affect at least 13 million people in the United States. Around 80% of people affected are women [2,3]. The most common type of UI in women is stress urinary incontinence (SUI) [4]. Although not identified as life-threatening, UI may lead to withdrawal from social situations and reduced life quality.

Abstract:
Abstract Catheter acquired urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is a significant problem in the medical community. Interdisciplinary teams have coordinated to address this problem, yet there is still a need for an adequate solution. In this study, we investigate an electricidal solution by adopting electrochemically active materials that can be incorporated into a urinary catheter. Zinc and silver oxide powders deposited in the form of patterned electrodes on a thermoplastic substrate are shown to illustrate electricidal properties in urine, including the ability to produce electric fields, pH incr

Abstract:
Abstract Catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are an endemic problem in the American medical system, causing nearly 32% of all hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) [1]. Novel antimicrobial coatings for catheters, consisting of metal powders (Ag/Ag2O) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), have recently been developed to combat this problem [2,3]. The active ingredients in these coatings were modeled using simplified assumptions in both ANSYS Maxwell and Quantum Espresso to determine the electric field strength at various particle radii. SEM/EDX analysis of the Ag/Ag2O coating was als
