External urinary collection devices (EUCDs) may reduce indwelling catheter usage and catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs). In this retrospective quasi-experimental study, we demonstrated that EUCD implementation in women was associated with significantly decreased indwelling catheter usage and a trend (P = .10) toward decreased CAUTI per 1,000 patient days.
外置集尿装置(EUCD)可减少留置导尿管的使用和导管相关性尿路感染(CAUTI)。在这项回顾性准实验研究中,我们表明 EUCD 在女性中的应用与留置导尿管使用的显著减少相关,并且有趋势(P =.10)表明每 1000 个患者日的 CAUTI 减少。
