NCT01275261 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: PHASE2 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 5

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether bladder catheterization can be safely avoided in patients admitted to the hospital with stroke using a nursing protocol, and whether this decreases the incidence of urinary tract infections. The investigators hypothesize that the protocol will be tolerated by nurses and patients, and that patients without bladder catheters will have fewer urinary tract infections and better outcomes.
