Treatment and study plan

urinary catheterization

Procedure

urine samples for culture and sensitivity will be collected in patients having urinary tract infection and we will use sterile container 50cc for urine sampling culture on blood or macconkey medium for detection type of organism .

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of CAUTIs:

    Time frame: one month

    The primary outcome will be the rate of CAUTIs before and after the implementation of the infection control program. CAUTIs will be defined according to the criteria established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and will include clinical signs, symptoms, and positive urine cultures.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Length of Hospital Stay:

    Time frame: one month

    The average length of stay for patients with CAUTIs will be compared preand post-intervention. A reduction in length of stay may indicate improved patient outcomes and decreased complications.
