The overuse of Foley catheters can lead to urinary tract infections (UTIs) which in turn can lead to a hip prosthesis infection in patients that have undergone THA. An additional risk of the overuse of Foley catheters is posteropartive urinary retention (POUR) in total joint arthroplasty patients. As POUR develops‚ patients are subjected to intermittent catheterizations on the nursing units‚ which increases the risk of developing a UTI. The anesthetic used also plays an important role in the development

Healthcare providers implement various techniques that help prevent a patient from contracting nosocomial infections. Perhaps the most common acquired and treated infection is a urinary tract infection caused by long-term indwelling catheter use.

The population that has the greatest risk for developing UTI’s is older adults
