“…Adherence to the closed drainage system minimizes the importance of the drainage bag as the source of CA-bacteriuria and thus the usefulness of drainage bag disinfection [273]. Because of the potential role of contaminated drainage bags in infection clusters [58,63], it may be appropriate to consider drainage bag disinfection as an infection prevention measure during nosocomial outbreaks [275,276], but this has not been evaluated in randomized trials.…”

Guidelines for the diagnosis, prevention, and management of persons with catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CA-UTI), both symptomatic and asymptomatic, were prepared by an Expert Panel of the Infectious Diseases Society of America. The evidence-based guidelines encompass diagnostic criteria, strategies to reduce the risk of CA-UTIs, strategies that have not been found to reduce the incidence of urinary infections, and management strategies for patients with catheter-associated asymptomatic bacteriuria or symptomatic urinary tract infection. These guidelines are intended for use by physicians in all medical specialties who perform direct patient care, with an emphasis on the care of patients in hospitals and long-term care facilities.

“…The only difference was that 20cc chlorhexidine was added to the urine bag after disposal of contents and two more specimens were taken daily from the drainage bag (one in the morning and one at night). Eight hundred and eighty-seven urine cultures were tested (Noy et al 1982, Webb & Blandh 1968.…”

The prevalence of urinary tract infection in patients catheterised inside the hospital was studied in relation to the type of drainage bag used. Five hundred and thirty-two adult patients of both sexes were studied in three groups consisting of (1) open drainage system with an infection incidence of 38.9%; (2) closed system with 25.1%; and (3) the closed system plus the addition of chlorhexidine with 15% infection. The overall incidence of infection was 29.8%. There was a statistically significant difference between the first and the second group (p less than 0.01), the first and the third group (p less than 0.01), but none between the second and third groups (p greater than 0.01). The incidence was higher in women than in men (p less than 0.01), but only in the age group greater than or equal to 60 (p less than 0.01). The index of medical patients was significantly higher than in urological patients (p less than 0.05), while there was no statistical significance between surgical and urological patients (p greater than 0.1). The highest prevalence of infection in the three groups occurred on the seventh day. Gram-negative bacteria were 63.3%, Gram-positive 10.1% and fungi 26.6%.

Your responsibility Your responsibilityThe recommendations in this guideline represent the view of NICE, arrived at after careful consideration of the evidence available. When exercising their judgement, professionals and practitioners are expected to take this guideline fully into account, alongside the individual needs, preferences and values of their patients or the people using their service. It is not mandatory to apply the recommendations, and the guideline does not override the responsibility to make decisions appropriate to the circumstances of the individual, in consultation with them and their families and carers or guardian.Local commissioners and providers of healthcare have a responsibility to enable the guideline to be applied when individual professionals and people using services wish to use it. They should do so in the context of local and national priorities for funding and developing services, and in light of their duties to have due regard to the need to eliminate unlawful discrimination, to advance equality of opportunity and to reduce health inequalities. Nothing in this guideline should be interpreted in a way that would be inconsistent with complying with those duties.Commissioners and providers have a responsibility to promote an environmentally sustainable health and care system and should assess and reduce the environmental impact of implementing NICE recommendations wherever possible.Healthcare-associated infections: prevention and control in primary and community care (CG139)
