Abstract
UTI is the most common nosocomial infection, accounting for 23 to 30% of all infections acquired during hospitalization, with a prevalence of 2%. Increases hospital stay by an average of 4 days, with a consequent increase in hospital costs. Mortality is low and is particularly associated with secondary bacteremia, which occurs from 0.5 to 4% of these patients. Bladder catheterization (CV) is the most influential factor for developing an UTI. Approximately 75% of UTIs, affect patients that have required catheterization. Through the application of some of medical and sanitary steps,UTI may decrease about 30%, infectious complications of bladder catheterization.
