About this trial
Urinary tract infections in catheterized patients is an unacceptable complication and has been termed a 'never event' by the Center for Medicare \& Medicaid Services (CMS); however there is not consensus among clinicians on how to best prevent CAUTIs. We propose a prospective randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy of prophylactic gentamicin bladder irrigation in elimination of CAUTIs.
