Retained Urine Volume and Bacteriuria in Traditional Versus Vented Urine Drainage Systems
Bacteriuria
About this trial
This is an interventional prevention trial for Bacteriuria focused on measuring Precursor to CAUTI
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Scheduled for a planned surgery
- Anticipated indwelling bladder catheter placement for greater than 24 hours
- Anticipated post-op admission to a surgical ICU
Exclusion Criteria:
- Unstable renal function as self-reported
- Anticipated bandaged postoperative suprapubic incisions
- Anatomical deformity that precludes appropriate suprapubic access for ultrasound bladder scanning
- Surgical procedure that prevents accurate core body temperature by any means other than by bladder temperature

Active Comparator
Vented urinary drainage system
Non-vented urinary drainage system
This group will be catheterized with a vented urinary drainage system. Several data sets will be evaluated to compare the two arms of the study: retained urine volume, the difference (ΔH) in meniscus heights in the dependent loops, time necessary for drainage of dependent loops, and incidence of bacteriuria.
