sterile conditions are vital. Perform hand hygiene and use aseptic technique upon insertion of indwelling catheter. 2. Assess catheters regularly to reduce infection. Keep in mind that catheters should be removed as soon as possible. Remember that the longer the catheters are in place‚ the greater risk of infections. Also‚ be aware of patient’s symptoms of CAUTI. 3. Ensure that the catheter is a closed drainage system‚ and secure the device in place. This will aid in reduction of bladder wall and

Data for this paper is presented by the examination of five hospitals with the goal to achieve a consistent rate of zero infections per 1000 catheter days. The analysis of Hospital 1‚ Hospital 2‚ Hospital 3‚ Hospital 4‚ and Hospital 5 wants to improve patient safety by implementing ways to reduce CAUTIs. The data was presented by using the strengths that include the support for evidence-based practice and skill level of the staff. The opportunities will include a fiscal increase‚ patient‚ and staff

with unnecessary use of indwelling urinary catheters (IUC). The rate of patients that do not meet the appropriate indications for the catheter is approximately 50%. In addition‚ 40% of clinicians remain unaware of the presence of the IUC on their patients. For the patient with the IUC‚ the daily rate of developing a CAUTI is about 3%-7% (Mori‚ 2014). Research question: There is a gap in knowledge regarding the potential benefit for usage of indwelling catheter in the patients undergoing surgical procedures

This creates a new path for oxygen-rich blood to flow to the heart muscle. Surgeons can bypass multiple coronary arteries during one surgery. CORNOARY ANGIOPLASTY/ BALLOON ANGIOPLASTY Coronary angioplasty is accomplished using a balloon-tipped catheter inserted through an artery in the groin or arm to enlarge a narrowing in a coronary artery. Coronary artery disease occurs when cholesterol plaque builds up (atherosclerosis) in the walls of the arteries to the heart. Angioplasty is successful in

Balloon Angioplasty Introduction: Angioplasty is a technique that broadens a narrow or congested blood vessel using a inflatable catheter. It is used to treat atherosclerosis (blood vessel impediments)‚ and regularly made by an interventional cardiologist‚ a medical doctor with distinctive training in the handling of the heart‚ using invasive catheter-based measures. Angioplasty is frequently achieved as a minimally-invasive technique‚ where a stent is implanted into the blood vessel to preserve

field covers a variety of therapies ranging from stents to intravascular ultrasounds. Invasive and interventional cardiology began with the birth of catheterization starting from the early ancient Egyptians going back to 400 B.C. During 400 B.C.‚ catheters were fashioned by hollow reeds and pipes were used as cadavers to study function of cardiac valves‚ then in 3000 B.C.‚ ancient Egyptians performed the first types of catheterization which started from the bladder using metal pipes (Choudhury‚ Rahman

in Hawaii. The majority of all our patients request an epidural to assist with the pain of childbirth. Since the patients are numb from the waist down‚ we insert a urinary catheter to monitor output of all patients. The majority of our patients have increased swelling from the vaginal deliver and must keep the urinary catheter in place for additional days. Any of our patients receiving a cesarean section to deliver their baby‚ usually require hair removal. Due to the lack of funding‚ we often have
