Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection: 12 Hours versus 24 Hours Urinary Catheter Removal Following Uncomplicated Cesarean Section in Ekiti State |
Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
Catheter associated urinary tract infection (CA-UTI) is the commonest cause of nosocomial infection. It accounts for up to 10-70% of all nosocomial infections. Minimizing the length of stay of indwelling urinary catheter is a major way that have been published in reducing rate of infection . How long is acceptable has been a major debate in the literature? What benefit does short urinary catheterization tends to offer apart from reduction in infection rate? How appreciable will catheterization affect cost of hospital stay? Does the length of catheterization determines the probable length of immobilization.
AIM: To compare the incidence of significant bacteriuria defined as ≥100,000 bacteria of the same colony per millilitre of urine in a sample of midstream urine collected 72 hours postoperatively in patients with 12hours versus 24hour removal of urinary catheter following uncomplicated caesarean section.
