Abstract

CAUTI is one of the most common, costly, and preventable healthcare-associated infections. CAUTIs result from pathogens entering the urinary tract via indwelling urinary catheters (IUCs). Recently, FECs have been developed as alternatives to IUCs – IUCs can be removed and substituted with FECs in appropriate female patients. A patient will use a single IUC for their stay or course of treatment while FECs must be replaced periodically. The objective of this review and model is to assist organizations in estimating whether FECs offer either/both clinical and economic benefits.
