Resumo

Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common device-associated infection in hospitals. Both technical factors — appropriate catheter use, aseptic insertion, and proper maintenance — and socioadaptive factors, such as cultural and behavioral changes in hospital units, are important in preventing catheter-associated UTI.
