Efficacy of Meatal and Perineal Care With a Prepackaged Cleansing Cloth and Standardized Cleansing Protocol in Reducing Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections in Acute-Care Hospitals

Superiority study evaluating the efficacy of a prepackaged cleansing cloth and standardizing cleansing protocol vs. previous standard-of-care for catheter care and maintenance.

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

A superiority study evaluating the efficacy of a complete cleansing system composed of 5 prepackaged, moistened cloths with a standardized cleaning method compared to the previous standard-of-care for catheter care and maintenance. The primary objective is to investigate if the implementation of prepackaged cleansing cloths with a standardized cleaning protocol for all indwelling urinary catheter (IUC) care and maintenance provides a reduction in CAUTIs. The ReadyCleanse complete cleansing system will replace the previous standard-of-care. The ReadyCleanse intervention will be compared to the previous standard-of-care retrospectively.
