There have been extensive technological advancements in the healthcare field, one of them being the indwelling urinary catheter. The use of indwelling urinary catheters in the hospital setting has proven to be an effective way of treating certain urinary problems, when necessary. For example, when a patient is in pain because his or her bladder is distended due to urinary retention, or when a patient is post-op and unable to void. However, the use of indwelling catheters is not always free of consequence. Healthcare providers must consider the risks and benefits of catheter insertion, as indwelling catheters pose a risk of urinary tract infection from the moment they enter the patient. The American Nurses Association used evidence-based practice to develop the CAUTI Prevention Tool, which has been effective in reducing the incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infections in hospitals.
