This study tests whether replacing a urinary catheter early during a catheter-related infection leads to better outcomes than keeping it in place. It may help people who have had a catheter for at least two weeks and develop a urinary tract infection.
This trial tests whether using a special antiseptic solution (Irrisept) when removing a urinary catheter can lower the chance of getting a urinary tract infection. It is for people visiting a urology clinic for catheter removal who are not already on antibiotics.
This trial tests whether leaving a ureteral stent in place during a urinary tract infection is safe. It may help avoid unnecessary procedures for patients with an indwelling ureteral catheter who develop a urinary infection.
This study tests whether a special education program can help men who had prostate surgery and are going home with a urinary catheter feel less anxious and have better attitudes about preventing catheter infections. If you qualify, you would learn about how to care for your catheter to reduce your risk of infection.
This study looks at bacteria in urine samples from people who get frequent urinary tract infections and have a certain type of catheter. It aims to learn why some bacteria are hard to treat and may help improve care for patients like you.
This trial tests whether giving a low dose of the antibiotic gentamicin directly into the bladder through the catheter can prevent infections in people who are critically ill and have a Foley catheter. If you qualify, you might receive this treatment to help reduce the risk of a catheter-related urinary tract infection.
