He urged, "The decision to use this instrument should be made with the knowledge that it involves risk of producing a serious disease" (1). This advice remains relevant today. Although these devices provide indispensable benefits, they are also the dominant risk factor for hospital-acquired urinary tract infection, the most common nosocomial infection in the United States (2). Infections and other untoward effects associated with indwelling urinary catheters lead to increased health care costs, ...References1. Beeson PB. The case against the catheter.
