Resumen
MALDONADO-TUPIZA, Jessica Alexandra; ALBORNOZ-ZAMORA, Elsa Josefina y RAMOS-ARGILAGOS, Miguel Eduardo. Nursing care to prevent urinary catheter infections in critical areas: systematic review. Salud y Vida [online]. 2025, vol.9, n.esp1, pp.582-590. Epub 30-Oct-2025. ISSN 2610-8038. https://doi.org/10.35381/s.v.v9i1.4703.
Objectives:
To interpret nursing care in the prevention of urinary catheter infections in patients in critical areas.
Method:
Observational study through documentary, cross-sectional and retrospective review following PRISMA 2020 guidelines. A systematic search was conducted in Google Scholar, Cochrane and VHL from December 2022 to January 2023, including publications from 2015 to 2022. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, finally analyzing 17 articles.
Results:
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections represent 8.7% incidence in ICU with mortality exceeding 50%. Main modifiable factors include catheter duration, insertion technique and proper manipulation.
Conclusions:
Nursing care based on standardized protocols, bundle application and continuous assessment significantly reduce catheter-associated urinary infections in critical areas.
