Introduction of a FEUC was associated with a statistically significant decrease in CAUTI rate among female complications including catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) [1]. that this would prevent CAUTIs. As our outcome measure, we compared CAUTI rates in female ICU patients before and after the product days, and hospital-acquired pressure injury (HAPI) rates, male patients were excluded. In the year prior to FEUC introduction, there were 23 CAUTIs in female ICU patients, a rate of 3.14 per 1000 CAUTI = catheter associated urinary tract infection. collection does include device-associated pressure injuries, which are a useful balancing measure for FEUC TABLE 2: Female HAPI and Device-Associated Pressure Injury Prevalence Before and After FEUC TABLE 2: Female HAPI and Device-Associated Pressure Injury Prevalence Before and After FEUC ./cache/work_f2i6belgkzaolg54vnd6ylfkbq.pdf ./txt/work_f2i6belgkzaolg54vnd6ylfkbq.txt
