Summary
Over the last decade, there has been great emphasis on reducing the incidence of
hospital-acquired infections, including catheter-associated UTI (CAUTI). This study will
evaluate the effectiveness of Betadine irrigation solution (2% povidone-iodine) instilled
into the bladder immediately prior to indwelling catheter removal to decrease the risk of
subsequent bacteriuria, leading to decreased rates of NHSN defined CAUTI.
