Prophylactic Antibiotics on Urethral Catheter Withdrawal

April 18, 2007 updated by: St. Antonius Hospital

Use of Antibiotic Prophylaxis on Urethral Catheter Withdrawal: A Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Trial

Urinary-tract infection (UTI) is the most common type of hospital-acquired infection (30% of all). The purpose of this study is to determine whether antibiotic prophylaxis for urinary catheter removal is useful at preventing catheter-associated urinary-tract infection.

Detailed Description

Urinary-tract infection (UTI) is the most common type of hospital-acquired infection (30% of all). The researchers undertake a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to assess the efficacy of single-dose therapy of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole or ciprofloxacin, versus placebo therapy in selected groups of surgical patients who had bladder drainage scheduled to last longer than 3 days.
