Prevention of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in a surgical urology ward: observational study—analysis of the problem and strategies for implementation

Infections in urology: slow progress reflected in clinical practice

“…An active program for the control of HAUTI must be in place, and this program must include medical staff, nurses, patients, and patients' relatives. The study also demonstrated that observational assessment might reduce catheter-associated infection, with rates falling from 9.1% in 2012 to 5.2% in 2018 [16].…”

Urosepsis among Sudanese Patients: A Paradigm from Limited Resources Country

“…The main goal of treatment of urosepsis decreased the complication in order to decreased mortalityrate used empirical injectable antimicrobial immediately after diagnosed; the urologist should kept in mind patient status such as previous (urological intervention, UTI) and hospitalization associated with previous antimicrobial administration and the presence of a urinary catheter, furthermore, the selection of empirical antibiotics depend on geographical variability of resistance rate [8], in case of indwelling catheters change the catheter in case of prolong used, monitoring output of urine, furthermore; used antibiotics as a prophylaxis before [40].…”

Urogenital infections

“…It summarizes the evidence from prevention, to diagnosing and evaluating infections, to treating infections in different settings. Medina-Polo et al [1] present a cohort study, where the effect of protocols, aiming to reduce healthcare associated infections, were studied over several years. In this study, they could show that implementation of protocols for diagnosis and empirical treatment of health-care associated infections in urological wards dramatically reduced the rate of urological infections.…”
