Evaluation of H2O2 prophylaxis of bacteriuria in patients with long-term indwelling Foley catheters: a randomized controlled study.

摘要: Since the long-term catheterized patient is at significant risk of urinary tract infection, and catheter drainage bags these patients are becoming reservoirs for nosocomial pathogens, we carried out a randomized, controlled study to determine efficacy intermittent bag instillation hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in requiring indwelling Foley catheters 5 days or more. Herein report effects this technique on rates bacteriuria, duration positive culture, temporal relationships observed, spectrum organisms recovered. Bag source bacteriuria was found with same frequency both control H2O2 groups. did reduce contamination but not catheter-associated symptomatic infection. Furthermore, most common pathogens.
