Adhesive Devices Versus Elastic Devices for Urinary Catheter Securement in Critically Ill Patients Experimental Study
Dispositivos Adhesivos Frente a Dispositivos elásticos Para la sujeción de la Sonda Urinaria en el Paciente crítico Estudio Experimental
About This Trial
Nowadays there are two types of urinary catheter securement devices, adhesive and elastic bands. The goal of this clinical trial is to determine which type of device-adhesive or elastic-is more effective for securing urinary catheters in critically ill patients. The study also aims to evaluate the prevention of urethral meatus injuries, patient discomfort, and the incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infections . The main questions the trial aims to answer are: * Which device type better prevents injuries to the urethral meatus? * Which device reduces discomfort for patients? * Which device lowers the incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infections? Participants will: * Use either an adhesive or an elastic device to secure their urinary catheter during their stay in critical care * Be monitored regularly to assess any injuries, discomfort, or infections related to the catheter * Provide feedback on their comfort and any complications experienced, if they are able to communicate
