Point-of-Care Sensors and Medical Internet-of-Things Technologies to Manage Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections in the Intensive Care Unit.

Critical care nursing clinics of North America
This article examines the current technologies used with indwelling urinary catheters to monitor potential catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) in the intensive care unit. Advancements in medical internet-of-things, artificial intell...

Estimating individual risk of catheter-associated urinary tract infections using explainable artificial intelligence on clinical data.

American journal of infection control
BACKGROUND: Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) increase clinical burdens. Identifying the high-risk patients is crucial. We aimed to develop and externally validate an explainable, prognostic prediction model of CAUTIs among hospit...

Safety and Efficacy of Acute Central Venous Catheters for Hemodialysis with Sodium Bicarbonate versus an Antibiotic Catheter Locking Solution.

Saudi journal of kidney diseases and transplantation : an official publication of the Saudi Center for Organ Transplantation, Saudi Arabia
This study was conducted to determine the safety and efficacy of acute central venous catheters (CVC) using a sodium bicarbonate catheter locking solution (SBCLS) versus an antibiotic catheter locking solution (ACLS). Our study included patients aged...

Assisting the infection preventionist: Use of artificial intelligence for health care-associated infection surveillance.

American journal of infection control
BACKGROUND: Health care-associated infection (HAI) surveillance is vital for safety in health care settings. It helps identify infection risk factors, enhancing patient safety and quality improvement. However, HAI surveillance is complex, demanding s...

Magnetic Soft Robot for Minimally Invasive Urethral Catheter Biofilm Eradication.

ACS nano
Catheter-related biofilm infection remains the main problem for millions of people annually, affecting morbidity, mortality, and quality of life. Despite the recent advances in the prevention of biofilm formation, alternative methods for biofilm prev...

Electronic Surveillance For Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection Using Natural Language Processing.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is a common and costly healthcare-associated infection, yet measuring it accurately is challenging and resource-intensive. Electronic surveillance promises to make this task more objective and effic...

Assessing patient risk of central line-associated bacteremia via machine learning.

American journal of infection control
BACKGROUND: Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) contribute to increased morbidity, length of hospital stay, and cost. Despite progress in understanding the risk factors, there remains a need to accurately predict the risk of CLAB...

Adherence of staphylococcus aureus to catheter tubing inhibition by quaternary ammonium compounds.

The Pan African medical journal
INTRODUCTION: is a Gram positive bacterium which is responsible for a wide range of infections. This pathogen has also the ability to adhere to biotic or abiotic surface such as central venous catheter (CVC) and to produce a biofilm. The aim of this...
