Catheter-related urinary tracts infections (CAUTIs) have been associated with increased morbidity, mortality, hospital cost and length of stay. People requiring long term bladder draining with indwelling catheter can experience catheter blockage, and the presence of an indwelling urethral catheter predisposes to urinary tract infection.
