catheter care bundles

Catheter care bundles are standardized sets of best practices designed to prevent infections and ensure proper maintenance of urinary catheters. These bundles typically include steps like hand hygiene before handling the catheter, using sterile technique during insertion, securing the catheter to prevent movement, keeping the drainage bag below bladder level, and regular monitoring for signs of infection. By consistently following these practices, healthcare providers aim to reduce complications, improve patient safety, and promote better recovery outcomes related to catheter use.
