Özet
with an incidence of 40%. The incidence of urosepsis occurs in approximately 16% of the ICU patient populations. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of a silver coated urinary catheter in prevention of catheter-associated UTI. Material and Methods: We investigated 21 patients (mean age with 71.4 +/- 9.0 year and 14 M, 7 F) foley silicon urinary catheter and 20 patients (mean age with 67.6 +/- 8.7 year and 15 M, 5 F) with silver coated urinary catheter. In all patients, foley urinary catheters were changed with silver coated catheter in critical care unit. Results: The most common cause of infection was Klebsiella (33%). The susceptibility of gram negative microorganisms against antimicrobial agents were amicacin, piperacillin-tazobactam and carbapenem. The cost of antibiotic was higher in foley catheter group than silver coated group (p<0.001). Conclusion: Silver coated urinary catheter is expensive, it is cost effect according to urinary infection and antibiotic cost.
