Professional guidelines
CDC Guidelines for Prevention of CAUTI, 2009
I.A.1 “Minimize urinary catheter use and duration of use in all patients, particularly those at risk for CAUTI or mortality from catheterization such as women, the elderly, and patients with impaired immunity.”6
I.B.1 – “Consider using external catheters as an alternative to indwelling urethral catheters in cooperative male patients without urinary retention or bladder outlet obstruction.”6
IDSA, 2009
“Indwelling catheters should be removed as soon as they are no longer required to reduce the risk of CA-bacteriuria and CAUTI." (A-I, A-II)7
