[ANTIBACTERIAL THERAPY OF CATHETER ASSOCIATED URINARY TRACT INFECTION AFTER RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY.].

UNLABELLED: Background Catheter associated urinary tract infections (CA UTI) are common nosocomial infections greatly increase morbidity and mortality and potentially increase hospital costs. Bladder catheterization is a common procedure, which surgical patients are undergone in the perioperative period, and the occurrence of about 80% of all urinary tract infections associated with it. There is no postoperative standard tactics of management patients with the urinary catheter. However, implementation of recommendations for the prevention of the development of CAUTI led to a reduction in the incidence of this type of hospital infections. Aim of our study is to analyse the incidence of catheter associated urinary tract infections in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy, and the establishment of indications for antibiotic therapy in the postoperative period, regarding to the riskfactors.

METHODS: The 42 patients undergoing radical prostatectomy combined with pelvic lymphadenectomy were included into the study. The management of perioperative period and the antimicrobial policy was carried out according to the recommendations of IDSA 2009.
