The Analysis of Factors Causing Indwelling Urinary Catheter-related Infections in ICU Patients and Their Nursing Strategies

To explore the analysis of factors causing indwelling urinary catheter-related infections in ICU patients and their nursing strategies, and to provide reference for clinical nursing work. 291 patients with indwelling urinary catheters in the second area of ICU of our hospital from January 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023 were selected as research subjects. They were divided into infection group and non-infection group according to the presence or absence of urinary tract infection. Non-infection group The first group consisted of patients without urinary tract infection (278 cases), and the infection group consisted of patients with urinary tract infection (13 cases). A retrospective analysis method was used to analyze the causes of catheter-related urinary tract infection and the infecting bacteria of the two groups of patients. A single factor analysis was performed on various factors and other related factors, and corresponding nursing strategies were summarized and proposed.
