A prospective institution based study of Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract: The urinary catheterisation is a common procedure in hospital and its association with hospital acquired infection is also common. The catheterization is associated with asymptomatic Bacteriuria (CA-ASB) predominantly rather than Catheter associated urinary tract infection (CA-UTI). The institutional study is designed to assess the prevalence of CAUTI incidence, identify the causative microbial organism and assess the possible cause of CAUTI. The incidence of CA- ASB and CA- UTI is 10.97% and 4.43% respectively. The E. coli is commonest bacteria isolated due to perineal contamination of catheter. The use of autoclaved kit of catheterisation, tutoring of nursing staff for the better aseptic precautions and use of sterilizing solution for hand wash suggested measures to curtail incidence of CA-ASB and CAUTI.
