Study to Compare CAUTI Rates Following ERASE CAUTI Tray Silver vs Silver Coated Foley Catheters
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The Foley catheter is one component in a catheter insertion procedure that could contribute to a catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). Improvements in the catheter insertion procedure using the ERASE CAUTI Tray system may help to lower these infection rates.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Urinary tract infection rates [2 days on average or until hospital discharge]
Infection rate/1000 catheter days based on days of use. As the number of days a catheter is used varies, the minimum expected time frame on average is 2 days. However, infections will be monitored during catheter use.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Catheter use [2 days on average or until hospital discharge]
The average number of days a catheter is used is typically 2 days. However during the hospital stay, the time a catheter remains varies on medical need. The total daily use of each catheter will be tabulated after removal..
- Catheter Associated Urinary Track Infection Costs [Post Infection costs incurred from insertion of catheter to hospital discharge (<30 days)]
Costs associated with urinary track Infections during the use of a catheter in the study will calculated from the time infection was identified until hospital discharge.
