Catheters and Urinary Tract Infection
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1973To the Editor.— Referring to the article "Prevention of Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection" (221:1270, 1972), I would like to comment: Although the catheter is associated with a high incidence of urinary tract infection, with proper management, the sequelae may be minimized. In our field of rehabilitation medicine, the indwelling catheter on

Catheter-associated urinary tract infections: new aspects of novel urinary catheters
International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2006Nosocomial urinary tract infection is the most common infection acquired both in hospitals and nursing homes and is usually associated with catheterisation. These catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) have been reported to increase mortality and have a considerable economic impact.

Chronic urinary catheter blockage
Nursing Standard, 1991Catheter blockage is a common complication of long-term urinary catheterisation which causes distress to the patient and presents management problems for both nursing and medical practitioners. Jennifer Kohler-Ockmore's study aimed to investigate some of the factors which may cause catheter blockage and how they may be overcome.

CATHETER-ASSOCIATED URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS
Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 1987Millions of urethral catheters are used each year. This device subverts several host defenses to allow bacterial entry at the rate of 3% to 10% incidence per day, and its presence encourages the organism's persistent residence in the urinary tract. Most catheter-associated bacteriurias are asymptomatic.

Infections associated with urinary catheters
2008This chapter discusses urinary tract infections (UTIs) as a common and clinically important outcome of the use of urinary catheters. UTI with a catheter in place is usually asymptomatic and referred to as catheter-associated asymptomatic bacteriuria (CA-ASB), while the symptomatic infection is referred to as catheter-acquired urinary infection (CA-UTI).

Urinary Catheter-Associated Infections
Infectious Disease Clinics of North AmericaCatheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are common and costly hospital-acquired infections, yet they are largely preventable. The greatest modifiable risk factor for developing a CAUTI is duration of catheterization, including initial indwelling catheter placement when it may not otherwise be necessary.
