Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections are an ongoing issue in health care Recent changes in the landscape of CAUTI prevention Growing interest by many stakeholders
I am an employee of C.R. Bard, Inc., Bard Medical Division. Any discussion regarding Bard products during my presentation is limited to information that is consistent with Bard labeling for those products.
Review/update the problem of CAUTI Outline many newer events within the last five years Discuss the latest concepts in prevention strategy From literature and published guidelines Locally at Palmetto Health System
100 million indwelling urethral catheters sold worldwide anually 24 million in the U.S.
25% of hospitalized patients exposed to catheters during their stay UTI = up to 40% of all HAI Vast majority of UTI are catheter related Not without increased cost and morbidity Saint S, Kaufman S, Thompson M, Rogers M, Chenoweth C. A Reminder Reduces Urinary Catheterization in Hospitalized Patients. Journal on Quality and Patient Safety. 2005 August. (31)8; 455-62
CAUTI accounts for 36% of all HAI Incidence of catheter associated bacteriuria is 26% in patients with indwelling catheter for 2 to 10 days 24% of those acquiring bacteriuria will advance to CAUTI Approximately 3% will develop bacteremia of urinary origin Greene L, Marks J, Oriola S.

Make sure the catheter is indicated Adhere to general infection control principles (aseptic insertion, proper maintenance, hand hygiene, properly trained staff, feedback to care providers) Remove the catheter as soon as possible Consider alternatives to indwelling catheters Saint S.

Caretakers forget to assess the risk

Risk Awareness
In patients with indwelling catheters: Risk of bacteriuria increases by 5% every day the catheter remains indwelling 10% of those becoming bacteruric advance to symptomatic CAUTI.
Around 3% will develop urinary associated bacteremia Saint S. Preventing Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection: Translating Research into Practice [Educational Slides] CatheterOut.org website, University of Michigan.
Forget the catheter is in place
Survey of 288 physicians (attending, house staff, interns and medical students). 469 patients in their care—25% with catheters by observation Saint S, Wiese J, Amory JK, Bernstein MI, Patel UD, Zemencut JK, et. al.

Appropriateness and Duration
Insertion checklists Removal reminder systems Automatic stop orders

Recent Study, Meddings et. al, 2010 Systematic review and meta-analysis Reviewed published interventional studies that used reminders to physicians or nurses that urinary catheter in use or stop orders to prompt catheter removal in hospitalized patients Meddings J, Rogers MA, Macy M, Saint S. Systematic Review and meta-analysis: reminder systems to reduce catheter associated urinary tract infections and urinary catheter use in hospitalized patients. Clin. Infect. Dis. 2010 Sept 1; 51(5): 550-60
Results:
CAUTI rate reduced by 52% (p = <0.001) with the use of reminder or stop order Foley duration decreased by 37% (2.6 fewer days per patient Stop orders were more effective than reminders Need for re-catheterization not different, control vs. intervention Meddings J, Rogers MA, Macy M, Saint S.

Use of portable bladder scanners Straight catheterization vs. indwelling Condom catheters in male patients Saint S, Kowalski C, Kaufman S, Hofer T, Kauffman CA, Olmstead R, et. al. Preventing Hospital-Acquired Urinary Tract Infections in the United States: A National Study. Clinical Infectious Diseases 2008; 46: 243-50
Accurate for urine volume Reduce the number of intermittent catheterizations One group found that use of bladder scan decreased catheter related UTI from 87% to 38% in one nursing unit and from 81% to 50% in another unit over a 12 month period.

Randomized controlled trial published in 2006 found: Condom catheters instead of indwelling catheters lowered the incidence of bacteriuria in men [without dementia] Men reported condom catheters more comfortable than indwelling catheters Saint S, Kowalski C, Kaufman S, Hofer T, Kauffman CA, Olmstead R, et. al.

Concluded: Despite the strong link between urinary catheters and CAUTI, we found no strategy to be widely used to prevent HA-UTI. The most commonly used practices (bladder ultrasound and antimicrobial catheters) were each used in fewer than one-third of hospitals Urinary catheter reminders, which have proven benefits were used in <10% of U.S. hospitals.

Elements of performance (insertion and use) Insert indwelling urinary catheters according to established evidence based guidelines that address the following: ▪ Limiting use and duration to situations necessary for patient care ▪ Using aseptic techniques for site prep, equipment and supplies JCAHO, 2012 National Patient Safety Goals, Hospital Accreditation Program, Pre-publication version, May 9, 2011.
Elements of Performance (catheter management) Manage indwelling urinary catheters according to established evidence based guidelines ▪ Securing catheters ▪ Maintaining sterility of collection system ▪ Replacement when required ▪ Asepsis in urine sample collection JCAHO, 2012 National Patient Safety Goals, Hospital Accreditation Program, Pre-publication version, May 9, 2011.
Measure and monitor the processes and outcomes Select measures based on evidence based guidelines or best practices Monitor compliance (ongoing audit or point prevalence) Evaluate effectiveness ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ UTI Surveillance Decreased indwelling catheter days Decreased inappropriate use Improved nursing care practices JCAHO, 2012 National Patient Safety Goals, Hospital Accreditation Program, Pre-publication version, May 9, 2011.
