The Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) began publishing their series of Elimination Guides in 2007. Since then, 9 Elimination Guides have been developed that cover a range of important infection prevention issues, including the prevention of catheter-related bloodstream infections, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs), as well as mediastinitis surgical site surveillance. Multidrug-resistant organisms, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium difficile, and multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, also have been the focus of APIC Elimination Guides. The content of each of these Elimination Guides will be summarized in a series of upcoming Brief Reports published in The Journal. This article provides an executive summary of the APIC Elimination Guide for CAUTIs. Infection preventionists are encouraged to obtain the original, full-length APIC Elimination Guide for more thorough coverage of CAUTI prevention.
感染控制和流行病学专业人员协会 (APIC) 于 2007 年开始出版其系列消除指南。自那时以来，已经制定了 9 项消除指南，涵盖了一系列重要的感染预防问题，包括预防导管相关血流感染、呼吸机相关性肺炎和导管相关尿路感染 (CAUTI)，以及纵隔炎手术部位监测。耐多药生物体，包括耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌、艰难梭菌和耐多药鲍曼不动杆菌，也是 APIC 消除指南的重点。这些消除指南中的每一项的内容都将在即将出版的《杂志》系列简讯中进行总结。本文提供了 APIC 消除指南中关于 CAUTI 的执行摘要。鼓励感染预防人员获得原始的、完整长度的 APIC 消除指南，以更全面地预防 CAUTI。
