Venugopal Reddy L, Rahul Reddy Karnati

Abstract :

Background: The objective of this study is to examine the independent risk factors for catheter–associated urinary tract infections in medical intensive care unit [ICU] patients. AIM:To assess the independent risk factors for catheter–associated urinary tract infections.OBJECTIVES1. To know the incidence of CAUTI in ICU patients 2. To know the risk factors 3. To check the causative agents and their antimicrobial susceptibility.Materials and Methods: Study Period:18months [january2018 to june 2019] in PES HOSPITAL KUPPAM on MEDICAL ICU Patients Results: In our study, 54.4% (49/90) patients were found to have CAUTI. Diabetes has been identified as a risk factor for the development of CAUTI. CKD and COPD patients were significantly associated with CAUTI (P<0.05). Conclusion: It is concluded that incidence of CAUTI was 54.4%. As the duration of catheterization increases risk of CAUTI was also more, but this association was not significant (P>0.05). COPD and diabetes cases were significantly associated with CAUTI (P<0.05).
