摘要
ObjectivesIndwelling urinary catheters (IUCs) are placed frequently in older adults (age 65 years) in the emergency department (ED) and carry significant risks. The authors developed, implemented, and assessed a novel clinical protocol to assist ED providers with appropriate indications for placement, reassessment, and removal of IUCs in elders in the ED. MethodsA comprehensive, evidence-based clinical protocol was built from an extensive literature review and ED provider focus groups. It was implemented at a university-based medical center with a 20-minute scripted slide presentation. Written surveys were administered before, after, and at 6 months to assess providers' baseline practice and the protocol's effects. Surveys included asking providers for IUC management decisions in 25 unique clinical scenarios. Rates of IUC placement and catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) were compared in ED older adult patients admitted to the hospital in the 6 months before and after protocol implementation. ResultsA total of 111 ED providers participated in the all three surveys. Immediately after protocol introduction, providers anticipated that this intervention would reduce rates of IUC use and increase patient safety. At 6-month follow-up, 81% felt the protocol had changed their practice, and 39% reported frequently referencing the protocol. In the clinical vignettes, ED providers correctly identified the appropriate approach for IUC placement in 63% of cases at baseline with an increase of 22% (95% confidence interval [CI]=19% to 25%) postintervention and an increase of 8% (95% CI=6% to 12%) between baseline and 6 months. An absolute reduction in the use of IUCs of 3.5% (p<0.001) for older adults admitted to the hospital was observed after implementation of the protocol. There were three CAUTIs attributable to the ED in the 6 months prior to implementation and none in the 6 months after. ConclusionsThis comprehensive, evidence-based clinical protocol was well received by participants and was associated with a sustained change in self-reported practice, as supported by a reduction in IUC placement in admitted older adults and a reduction in CAUTIs attributable to the ED for this vulnerable population over the 6-month study period.

Los autores desarrollaron, implementaron y evaluaron un protocolo clinico novedoso para guiar a los sanitarios del SU con indicaciones apropiadas para la colocacion, revaloracion y retirada de las SUP en esta poblacion. MetodologiaSe elaboro un protocolo clinico global basado en la evidencia a partir de una revision extensa de la literatura y de grupos enfocados en sanitarios del SU. Se implemento en un centro medico universitario con una presentacion de diapositivas de 20 minutos con encuestas escritas administradas antes, despues y a los 6 meses para evaluar la practica basal de los sanitarios y el impacto del protocolo. Las encuestas incluyeron preguntas a los sanitarios sobre las decisiones de manejo de la SUP en 25 escenarios clinicos. Los porcentajes de colocacion de SUP e infecciones urinarias asociadas a sondaje (ITUAS) se compararon en los adultos mayores del SU ingresados en el hospital en los 6 meses antes y despues de la implementacion del protocolo. ResultadosCiento once sanitarios del SU participaron en las 3 encuestas. Tras la introduccion del protocolo, los participantes previeron que esta intervencion reduciria los porcentajes de uso de SUP e incrementaria la seguridad del paciente. A los seis meses de seguimiento, un 81% sintio que el protocolo habia cambiado sus practicas y un 39% documento referenciar frecuentemente el protocolo. En las casos clinicos formulados, los sanitarios del SU identificaron correctamente la aproximacion apropiada para la colocacion de la SUP en un 63% de los casos en el momento basal con un incremento de un 22% (IC95%=19% a 25%) tras la intervencion y un incremento de un 8% (IC95%=6% a 12%) entre el momento basal y los 6 meses. Se observo una reduccion absoluta en el uso de la SUP de un 3,5% (P<0,001) en los adultos mayores ingresados en el hospital tras la implantacion del protocolo. Hubo 3 ITUS atribuibles al SU en los 6 meses antes de la implementacion y 0 en los 6 meses posteriores. ConclusionesEste protocolo clinico basado en la evidencia global fue bien recibido por los participantes y obtuvo un cambio sostenido en la practica autoreferida, asi como una reduccion mantenida en la colocacion de SUP en los adultos mayores ingresados y una reduccion en las ITUS atribuibles al SU en esta poblacion vulnerable en los 6 meses del periodo del estudio.
