Preventing CAUTIs involves several key practices: - Aseptic technique: Ensuring proper hand hygiene and using sterile equipment during catheter insertion and maintenance. - Limiting catheter use: Only using catheters when absolutely necessary and removing them as soon as possible. - Education and training: Providing comprehensive training for healthcare workers on catheter care and infection prevention. - Monitoring and surveillance: Regularly assessing catheter use and infection rates to identify and address potential issues promptly.
