Betadine Bladder Irrigations vs. Standard of Care Prior to Indwelling Catheter Removal

Summary

Over the last decade, there has been great emphasis on reducing the incidence of hospital-acquired infections, including catheter-associated UTI (CAUTI). This study will evaluate the effectiveness of Betadine irrigation solution (2% povidone-iodine) instilled into the bladder immediately prior to indwelling catheter removal to decrease the risk of subsequent bacteriuria, leading to decreased rates of NHSN defined CAUTI.
