CAUTIs Continue To Be A Challenge!

Catheter-associated urinary tract infections continue to be an issue for clinicians and institutions, particularly hospitals.  The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) released many documents that clinicians and infectious disease experts will find useful in fighting this problem.  One is a Toolkit for Preventing CLABSI and CAUTI in ICUs that offers customizable tools and training resources to prevent central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) and catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) in intensive care units (ICUs).
