Morning,
Just took a quite skip through google.
If you Google SHEA – The Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America.
Reviewing articles – prevention is the focusFrom:
* clarify need for IDC
* length of time the IDC is in situ
* encourage oral fluids
* Cranberry juice seems to be beneficial ( used in aged care facilities for non-catheterised patient)
* encourage mobility / frequent toileting vs IDC / retrain bladder – don’t hold on – go
* Blueberries / spinach / kale / beans / broccoli / Yogurt / red peppers / cauliflower / garlic
* lots of water or herbal teasI hope this helps.
Wishing everyone at ACIPC a Wonderful Christmas with their families & a Great New Year!
Regards,

Some work done in our area with community based nurses revealed an interesting lack of understanding of CAUTI. It may be worth going back to basics with your clinicians to assess their knowledge base…

Hey Yeng
Our hospital undertook a pilot project utilising the CEC toolkit
http://www.cec.health.nsw.gov.au/patient-safety-programs/adult-patient-safety/cauti-preventionhttps://www.idhjournal.com.au/article/S2468-0451(16)30247-4/pdf
I have attached the article that was published which outlines how this project was carried out. We had great results with this project and I agree with Jo that we need to get back to teaching the basics. There was a lot of time invested for teaching staff
Hopefully this will assist you
ThanksHappy New Year and Good luck
