Comparison of catheter-associated bacteriuria and urinary tract infections between designed sheathed urethral catheters versus other methods of urinary drainage
Abstract:Introduction: One of the most common nosocomial infections is urinary tract infection (UTI) which more commonly occurs in patients with urethral catheter. Objectives: The aim of this study is to compare the incidence rate of catheter-associated bacteriuria (CRB) and UTI between sheathed designed catheters versus other methods of urinary drainage. Patients and Methods: In this randomized double-blind controlled trial, 150 male patients, who needed urethral catheter, were randomly assigned into three groups; con… Show more
