AJN, American Journal of Nursing, 1964 The authors report that they "cannot claim to have solved entirely the problem of preventing infection in patients with indwelling catheters." They believe, though, that the assignment of catheter care responsibilities to a small and highly skilled group of nursing personnel represents a practical and helpful approach to this problem.

Antimicrobial strategies for urinary catheters.
Journal of Biomedical Materials Research. Part A, 2018Over 75% of hospital-acquired or nosocomial urinary tract infections are initiated by urinary catheters, which are used during the treatment of 16% of hospitalized patients. Taking the United States as an example, the costs of catheter-associated urinary

Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2015
The delivery of radiofrequency (RF) energy through irrigated ablation catheters may be affected by irrigant osmolarity and by catheter position. We sought to characterize lesion formation characteristics using different irrigants in both open and closed ...

Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 1986
For patients with incontinence who cannot be managed by other means, external or internal urine collecting devices may be useful. Condom catheters have been used for men, but analogous external collection devices for women are not widely available. Long-term urethral catheterization causes a dynamic polymicrobial bacteriuria that may be complicated by ...

Background. Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are associated with central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI). The magnitude of this risk relative to central venous catheters (CVCs) is unknown. Objective.

Arterial Catheters as a Source of Bloodstream Infection: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis*
Critical Care Medicine, 2014Objective:Catheter-related bloodstream infections are associated with significant costs and adverse consequences. Arterial catheters are commonly used in the critical care setting and are among the most heavily manipulated vascular access devices.
