简要总结

We found that the electronic reminder did not reduce the duration of catheterization, but potential benefits in patients outside the intensive care unit were identified. Outside the ICU, the use of the device was associated with a 23% decrease in mean catheter duration. Our survey and focus group of nurses found they were largely positive responses toward the use of the device. Electronic reminders may be useful to aid prompt removal of urinary catheters in the non-ICU hospital setting.
