? This document is aimed at healthcare professionals in all healthcare settings and outlines recommendations for the prevention of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) in Ireland.
? This document represents the expert opinion of the SARI sub-group following a literature review. The sub-group did not grade the evidence available in the literature as outlined by the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) due to the work commitments of sub-group members, which precluded a more detailed literature review and due to the broad consensus on best practice recommendations in international guidelines.(1)
? While we accept that some aspects of the recommendations may be difficult to implement initially due to a lack of resources or insufficient personnel, these guidelines represent best practice to prevent CAUTI.
? Where there are difficulties, these should be highlighted locally and to the Health Services Executive (HSE) and the Department of Health and Children (DoHC) so that measures are taken by the HSE and the DoHC to ensure implementation, including the provision of appropriate resources and personnel.
? The Committee recommends that these guidelines are reviewed and updated in 3-5 years.
