Abstract
The use and management of urinary catheters has been widely researched in the human field, and to a lesser extent in the veterinary field for many decades. The catheterisation of the urinary bladder via the urethra and the methods of collecting the draining urine from catheters is deemed an important area of clinical research due to the high risk of the development of urinary tract infections (UTIs), and specifically catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) in hospitalised patients. This article aims to explore the literature available, both human and veterinary, relating to urinary catheterisation and the methods of collection, and provide recommendations for the use of urinary catheters and closed-collection systems in veterinary practice in an effort to reduce the number of CAUTI cases.
