Abstract

Urinary catheters are meant for measuring the urine output of patients. Urine output is a very sensitive tool to know the hemodynamic status of the patient and also to assess the renal blood flow. The urinary catheter can be associated with urinary tract infection. If kept in situ for a prolonged time, it can result in catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). CAUTIs are associated with increased health care cost, prolonged stay in hospital and increased mortality. Recently, we have come across the utility of silver nanoparticle impregnated Foley catheter; SilvoGuard® and found it to be useful in reducing CAUTI events in patients.

 

Keywords:Silver nanoparticles, Silver impregnated catheter, Burn patient.
