Dear Yeng,
We recently completed a RCT in three Australian hospitals, exploring the effect of chlorhexidine 0.1% solution Vs saline for meatal cleaning prior to urinary catheterisation. In short, the use of chlorhexidine was associated with a reduction in both CA-ASB and CAUTI, all three hospitals saw a reduction. The results were presented at the ACIPC conference and HIS conference, with the article accepted in the Lancet Infectious Disease in the lead up to Christmas. I hope that article will be published in the coming weeks. This intervention is a relatively easy one to implement.
Kind regards

Hey Yeng
Our hospital undertook a pilot project utilising the CEC toolkit

https://www.idhjournal.com.au/article/S2468-0451(16)30247-4/pdf
I have attached the article that was published which outlines how this project was carried out. We had great results with this project and I agree with Jo that we need to get back to teaching the basics. There was a lot of time invested for teaching staff
Hopefully this will assist you
Thanks
Happy New Year and Good luck

Some work done in our area with community based nurses revealed an interesting lack of understanding of CAUTI. It may be worth going back to basics with your clinicians to assess their knowledge base…

Merry Christmas everyone,
I am wondering for some advice in regards of how other hospitals make
awareness of catheter acquired UTI for ward nurses (I.e. education, posters, PowerPoints, guidelines etc) Or has anyone done a program/ research to reduce hospital acquired UTI and has it been successful with retaining the evidence based practice with ward staff?
I have an interest in reducing
hospital acquired UTI and would love to hear what is out there.
Kind Regards,
