ObjectiveTo analyze the related risk factors for catheter-associated urinary tract infection in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), and make corresponding nursing countermeasures. MethodsBy target monitoring of catheter-associated urinary tract infection in 184 patients in the ICU from 2011 to 2012, infection risk factors were analyzed. The measures of nursing interventions had been taken since January 2012, and the effects before and after the intervention were contrasted and evaluated. ResultsBefore the intervention, 951 out of 1 229 patients in 2011 had indwelling catheter, and catheter-associated urinary tract infection occurred in 127 patients with an infection rate of 13.35%. After the intervention, 841 out of 1 437 in 2012 had indwelling catheter, and catheter-associated urinary tract infection occurred in 57 patients with an infection rate of 6.78%. ConclusionTaking effective intervention measures can effectively reduce the ICU catheter-associated urinary tract infection and it also ensures the safety of medical care.
Objective To discuss the effect of monitoring-training-planning (MTP) intervention model on the prevention and control of catheter–associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Methods Patients with indwelling catheter from departments with ICU (ICU, ICU of the Department of Neurosurgery, ICU of the Department of Neurologic Medicine) between 2014 and 2015 were included in this study. Based on the inclusion criteria, target monitoring indicators were set in accordance with Hospital Infection Monitoring Norms. A total of 493 patients with indwelling catheters from January to December 2014 were subjected to target surveillance, and were used as baseline for the study. A total of 529 patients with indwelling catheters from January to December 2015 were treated with MTP intervention. The occurrence of indwelling catheter–associated urinary tract infections in the intensive care unit was compared before and after intervention. Results The incidence of indwelling catheter-associated urinary tract infections before and after MTP intervention were different, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion MTP intervention model can effectively prevent and reduce indwelling catheter-associated urinary tract infections in ICU.
