Characteristics and outcome measures of indwelling urinary catheter care bundles in adult populations: a scoping review protocol.
The objective of this scoping review will be to identify and describe the characteristics and outcome measures of indwelling urinary catheter care bundles in adult populations.
The use of indwelling urinary catheters carries an inherent risk of infection, leading to the development of catheter-associated urinary tract infections, particularly antimicrobial-resistant infections, which are the most common.
Failure mode and effect analysis in the indwelling urinary catheterization process.
to analyze potential risks in the adult indwelling urinary catheterization process. exploratory, descriptive and evaluative research in a teaching hospital. Working group with ten health care providers: eight nurses, one physician and one nursing technician.
The Impact of Successful Transurethral Indwelling Catheter Removal on Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients Undergoing Neurological Rehabilitation.
Patients with acute severe neurological disorders often receive a transurethral indwelling catheter (TUIC) during their initial treatment. These TUICs often remain in place until the transfer to a rehabilitation or a long-term care facility.
IDC-IMPROVE: Protocol for a Cluster Randomised Feasibility Trial of a Care Bundle to Improve Indwelling Catheter Care (IDC) in Residential Aged Care Homes in Australia - Beyond the Abstract
The efficacy of super-lubricous Foley catheters in indwelling catheterization: a randomized controlled trial.
This randomized controlled trial evaluated the clinical efficacy of super-lubricous Foley catheters in reducing urethral complications during indwelling catheterization. Focusing on addressing friction-induced injuries, the study assessed four outcomes: 1) urethral adverse reactions; 2) urethral trauma and inflammatory responses; 3) patient comfort; and 4) post-removal voiding symptoms.
Lower urinary tract symptoms after laser enucleation of the prostate in patients with and without preoperative indwelling catheter.
To test for differences in outcomes of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) between patients with and without preoperative indwelling catheter after laser enucleation of the prostate (LEP).
In our tertiary-care database, patients undergoing LEP (11/2017-09/2023) were retrospectively analyzed, stratified by presence of preoperative catheter.
Perceptions and experiences of factors determining the inappropriate use and timely removal of indwelling urinary catheters in hospitals and nursing homes: a qualitative evidence synthesis.
To synthesise the perspectives of healthcare professionals and patients/residents of hospitals/nursing homes about determinants of inappropriate indwelling urinary catheter (IUC) use and strategies for reduction.
IDC-IMPROVE: protocol for a cluster randomised feasibility trial of a care bundle to improve indwelling catheter care (IDC) in residential aged care homes in Australia.
Indwelling urinary catheters (IDCs) are used by approximately 8% of Australian aged care residents. IDC use is often warranted but entails numerous risks, particularly if used longterm. Risks include catheter-associated urinary tract infections, catheter blockage, catheter leakage, bladder spasm, pain, urethral trauma and haematuria, and increased risk of hospitalisation.
Prostatic Artery Embolisation in Fragile and Elderly Patients with Indwelling Bladder Catheter.
Fragile patients with indwelling bladder catheter (IBC) represent a category at high risk of morbidity and overall quality of life decline. The goal for these patients is to remove the bladder catheter and avoid surgical stress, complications and long hospitalisation.
Diagnostic performance of magnetic resonance imaging and targeted biopsy results in men with indwelling urinary catheters: A propensity score matched study.
We sought to evaluate multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) findings and biopsy results in men with an indwelling catheter undergoing prostate cancer screening. mpMRI is central to the evaluation of prostate cancer.
Self-Care Activities of Community-Residing Adults With Indwelling Urinary Catheters: A Scoping Review.
To map self-care activities related to indwelling urinary catheters in community-residing adults.
Scoping review guided by Joanna Briggs Institute methodology.
Systematic searches of electronic databases (CINAHL, MEDLINE, Embase) and targeted grey literature search were conducted for documents published between 2000 and October 2023.
Influence of preoperative indwelling urinary catheter on outcomes of high-power holmium laser enucleation for very large prostate (≥ 200 mL).
to evaluate the impact of Indwelling Urinary Catheters (IUC) on perioperative and functional outcomes, as well as the safety profile, of High-Power HoLEP for the treatment of prostate gland volumes exceeding 200 cc.
Factors associated with inappropriate urine culture orders in hospitalized patients with indwelling urinary catheters.
Urine cultures ordered for patients with indwelling urinary catheters might lead to reporting of non-clinically significant catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) or asymptomatic bacteriuria to the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN).
Comparative study of HoLEP in elderly patients with indwelling catheters: a retrospective dual-center study.
This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of HoLEP in patients aged > 85 years with indwelling catheter (IDC).
We retrospectively analyzed our bicentric HoLEP database to identify consecutive patients with IDC and trial without catheter (TWOC) failure who underwent surgery between June 2012 and April 2020.
Routine Use of Indwelling Urinary Catheters During Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair is Not Necessary.
Endovascular infra-renal abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) has proven to be an effective, less invasive alternative to open aortic aneurysm repair with decreased 30-day mortality. Historically, urinary drainage catheters were routinely placed preoperatively before EVAR in our institution.
Adherence to Evidence-Based Guidelines and Implications When Designing Electronic Documentation for Urinary Catheters.
The aim of this study was to investigate the point prevalence and the rate of adherence to evidence-based guidelines for patients who had indwelling urinary catheters in three Australian acute care hospitals.
Innovating Indwelling Catheter Design to Counteract Urinary Tract Infection.
Bacteriuria is anticipated in long-term indwelling catheter (IDC) use, and urinary tract infections (UTIs) and related issues are common. Defence mechanisms against infection are undermined by the presence of a Foley catheter, and adjustments to design could influence UTI risk.
