Abstract:

Many inpatients in U.S. hospitals acquire an hospital-acquired infection (HAI), the majority of which can be attributed to an indwelling urinary catheter. The use of urinary catheters is a common practice within the acute care setting although the placement comes with risk. Improper catheter placement or a lack of care and maintenance can increase patient morbidity and mortality, as well as increase financial strain for the hospital. The purpose of this quality improvement (QI) evaluation was to determine if using a safety checklist and a 2-person urinary indwelling catheter-insertion team wou

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Joint Commission, and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality recognized the importance of reducing health-care-associated infections (HAIs) and catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) for the safety of all patients. The U.S Department of Health and Human Services has focused on approving a plan to address HAIs in the health care setting with an emphasis on CAUTIs.

Abstract:

Over the past few years the healthcare setting has seen a vast increase in the use of medical devices and whilst this may have improved clinical outcomes for patients their increase in use has given rise to an increase in medical - device associated infections. It has been reported that urinary tract infections (UTIs) account for up to 40% of all healthcare associated infections and about 80% of those are associated with catheter use [1]. Urinary catheters are hollow, flexible, tubular devices designed to drain urine when inserted into a patient‟s bladder. They are widely used both on patients

The most common cause of encrustation and blockage of long term urinary catheters is colonisation of the urinary tract by Proteus spp. However, the degree of encrustation experienced by those with Proteus colonisation differs markedly between individuals.

With increased antibiotic resistance, there is a push for non-antibiotic-based measures to prevent catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI).

Here, I present the efficacy of tethered AMPs against common uropathogens both in vitro and in vivo. Materials and Methods: Peptides E6, Tet20, Tet26, and Kai13 were linked t

Abstract:

Bakgrund:Kvarliggande kateter [KAD] är en behandling för akut eller kronisk urinretention och används vid sjukdomar eller vissa operationer. Samtidigt ökar KAD risk för urinvägsinfektion, vilket minskar patientsäkerheten, förlänger återhämtningstid och ökar behandlingskostnad. Förebyggande åtgärder för att minska kateterassocierad urinvägsinfektion [UVI] blir därför allt viktigare. Flera länder i Europa, Nord- och Sydamerika har gjort flertalet studier och hittat effektiva evidensbaserade förebyggande åtgärder mot kateterassocierad UVI. Utifrån säker och evidensbaserad vård skulle evidensbaser

Abstract:

The technological development of imaging equipment has allowed for the improvement of pre-existing procedures and for the creation of new options in treatment, mainly in the application of urinary treatment, by introducing minimally invasive techniques. Hydronephrosis often originates from the partial or complete obstruction of the urine flow and it can affect one or both kidneys, causing dilation and progressive functional impairment. When renal function is evidenced by exams such as the excretory urography or scintigraphy, it becomes vital to recover the kidney with hydronephrosis, especiall

Abstract:

SAMMANFATTNING Bakgrund Kateterisering av urinblåsan är en vanligt förekommande behandlingsåtgärd inom hälso- och sjukvården som kan vara indicerad vid exempelvis urinretention och residualurin efter miktion. Kateterisering kan orsaka komplikationer, såsom urinvägsinfektioner och urinläckage, vilket kan medföra lidande. Sjuksköterskan har som uppgift att lindra lidande genom bland annat personcentrerad och säker vård. Att förstå hur kateterisering kan påverka den individ som är i behov av den är därför viktigt för sjuksköterskans yrkesutövande. Syfte Syftet var att beskriva patienters uppl

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to compare the abilities of various urease-positive species to encrust and block catheters with crystalline biofllm. Experiments were performed in laboratory models of the catheterised bladder infected with a range of urease- producing species. The results of these experiments allowed the classification of the bacteria into three groups: rapid encrusters, slow encrusters and non-encrusters. Rapid encrusters (<italic>Pr. mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris</italic> and <italic>Providencia rettgeri</italic>) were able to raise the urinary pH to 8 - 9 and cause catheter blockage

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Urinkateterns design har inte förändrats sedan 1930-talet. Detta trots att komplikationer relaterat till urinkatetern kan vara allvarliga och vanligt förekommande. För att förhindra komplikationer krävs det att kateterbärarna använder sig av egenvård. För en fungerande egenvård behöver kateterbärarna goda kunskaper om urinkatetrar, vilket är sjuksköterskans uppgift att förmedla.Syfte: Att beskriva personers upplevelse av att leva med kvarliggande urinkateter.Metod: Litteraturöversikt med kvalitativa studier. 11 artiklar gick igenom kvalitetsgranskningen till resultatet.

Abstract:

One concern for medical professionals and women experiencing cesarean deliveries is the use of indwelling urinary catheters, which is associated with a delay in first void time, slower ambulation time, increased discomfort, longer hospital stays, and an increased risk for urinary tract infections. The purpose of this project was to determine if a practice change regarding the use of urinary catheters among pregnant women decreases the number of women receiving a catheter prior to having a cesarean section in a small community hospital.
