Policies and Procedures on Infection Control

Catheter should be removed from post operative patients as soon as possible.
Indwelling catheterization is preferable to intermittent catheterization for some groups
of post operative patients in the reduction of complications.
11. Spatial separation of catheterized patients
Spatially separating infected and uninfected patients with indwelling catheters is not
necessary.
12. Bacteriologic monitoring
Regular bacteriologic monitoring of catheterized patients as an infection control
measure is not recommended.
