Feasability of Preventing Encrustation of Urinary Catheters
Colonization of urinary catheters by bacteria which produce urease leads to an increase in urine pH, followed by deposition of the minerals struvite and hydroxyapatite. Adhesion of these encrusting deposits can be reduced, but not prevented, by using catheters with a smooth surface finish. Chemical methods for preventing encrustation are not completely satisfactory. A better way of preventing e...

متن کاملa comparison between foley and nelatone urinary catheters in causing urinary tract infection in animal models
results at the end of the study, four 4 cases in the nelatone group and 12 cases in the foley group presented with uti (p = 0.01). no positive urine cultures were found in the control group. conclusions the nelatone catheters, compared with the foley ones, had a lower risk of uti in the long term use. verifying this claim by further studies can have an important role in reducing utis in patient...
متن کاملThe Formation of Poly-Microbial Biofilms on Urinary Catheters
The number of catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) increases every year. The increasing number of CAUTIs bears on fact that urinary catheters became second most often used foreign body inserted into human body. Over 40% of nosocomial infections are infections of urinary tract, especially infections of catheterised patients (Gorman & Jones, 1991). Despite good aseptic management...
متن کاملInappropriate use of urinary catheters: a prospective observational study.
BACKGROUND Despite the well-recognized role of urinary catheters in nosocomial urinary tract infections, data on risk factors associated with inappropriate urinary catheter use are scarce. METHODS A prospective review of electronic medical records of 436 patients admitted to an adult medical-surgical unit between October and December 2007 was performed to examine the appropriateness of urinar...
