Abstract:
Objective To assess the application effect of reminder software for the management of indwelling catheter in catheter associated with urinary tract infection in emergency intensive care unit (EICU). Methods We conducted a comparative study among patients with catheter-associated urinary tract infection from January 2014 to December 2015 in emergency intensive care unit (EICU). By applying with reminder software, we assessed the omission rate of indwelling urethral catheterization management, the incidence rate of catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI), the utilization rate of urinary tract intubation and the average time of indwelling urethral catheterization.Results By the application of reminder software, the omission rate of indwelling urethral catheterization management was decreased. The incidence rate of CAUTI declined from 9.16‰ to 1.90‰ (x2=4.843,P<0.05),while the utilization rate of urinary tract intubation declined from 73.60% to 60.67% (P<0.01), and the average time of catheterization also shortened from (10.21±2.28) days to (8.20±1.67) days (t=2.47,P<0.05).Conclusions Reminder software applied in the control of indwelling catheter related infections has achieved good effectiveness and it can be used widely in clinical work.
