Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the daily nurse review of the indication of the urinary catheter compared to the everyday care of the working staff is effective to reduce the rate of catheter-associated urinary tract infection in adults hospitalized.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Healthcare-associated infection (HAI)in hospitalized patients are very frequent, especially the catheter-associated urinary tract infection, which prolongs the hospital stay and costs, and is about 3 times more likely to die during hospitalization than patients not infected.

The measures of aseptic insertion and closed systems of collection, as well as the rational use of the probe reduce the risk for infection.

A checklist that contains the agreed indications of catheter, related to obstruction, incontinence, skin lesions in sacral region, monitoring or surgical procedures allows the daily review of the indication of the probe. If the patient doesn´t meet at least one of the criteria, should be recommended the withdrawal of the catheter.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Daily review

In the intervention group a nurse reviewed daily, by using a checklist designed for this study, the indications and pertinence of the catheter. If it was not indicated she asked the doctor to order the removal of the catheter, but the doctor would make the final decision.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Daily review

Intervention Type OTHER

Daily nursing review of the urinary catheter´s indication. If the patient meets at least one of the entries to stay with bladder catheter, the nurse will record collection in the format but will not contact the health team. If there aren´t indication in the medical record, she contacts at the attending physician and said: "Doctor, I didn´t find record in the history of the indication of the urinary catheter, can we withdraw?. If the physician reported the indication, will be recorded in the format without additional comments.

The attending physician decides withdraw or no withdraw the urinary catheter

Routine care

In the control group, the attending team would remove the catheter as routine, without any suggestion by the research protocol.
