Tom Hawn, MD-PhD + LE poorly predictive of real UTI in foley patients!

17 Diagnostic Options: UTI Microscopic analysis Pyuria: Majority of symptomatic UTIs have pyuria… but lower PPV among catheterized pts Gram stain for bacteria: >1 organism per hpf on uncentrifuged urine is >10 5 on culture Culture Method: collect from sterilized tube port, not bag Inoculate 1 to 10  l onto agar plate Criteria for Enterobacteriaceae UTI if NO foley Symptomatic women Symptomatic women 10 2 : sensitivity 95%, specificity 85% for cystitis Asymptomatic women Asymptomatic women 10 5 : used in high risk clinical settings & research + WBC poorly predictive in foley patients!

19 Treatment Options: CAUTI Empiric coverage depends on gram stain: GNR’s: Ceftazidime (vs. Meropenem if MDRO hx or heavy recent cephalosporin exposure) GPC’s: add Vancomycin (cover Staph) Total Length of Therapy: Usually 7 days; longer may be needed for pyelo Definitive Treatment: Focus spectrum based on C&S results…
