Retained Urine Volume and Bacteriuria in Traditional Versus Vented Urine Drainage Systems

Phase 1

Withdrawn

• Conditions: Bacteriuria

• Registration Number: NCT02052674
• Lead Sponsor: University of Florida

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to see if there are differences in urine drainage between two types of indwelling bladder catheter systems (Foley catheter) in hospitalized patients. The difference between the two catheters is that one catheter is vented (the study catheter) and the other is a standard non-vented catheter. The vented catheter may drain urine better than a standard non-vented catheter.

If a vented catheter drains the bladder better than a non-vented catheter it may lower the risk of retained urine in the bladder which could help prevent urinary tract infections.

Detailed Description

During hospitalization, while in the surgical intensive care unit beginning the day after surgery, measurements of the subject's urine drainage system will be taken at daily study visits: retained urine volume, dependent loops, incidence of bacteriuria, and thigh diameter.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Bacteriuria	7 days	Evidence of bacteriuria, a potential precursor to Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI), will be used to study the potential effect of the vented urinary drainage system intervention on CAUTI.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Retained Urine	7 days	One potential source for the risk of developing a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is related to residual urine volume in the bladder
Presence of biofilms in catheter materials	7 days	A key contributor to bacteriuria is formation of biofilms in the catheter and catheter tubing.
