The goal of this observational pilot study is to learn about the ability of the PureWick® Flex Female External Catheter and the PureWIck® Male External Catheter to capture urine output in adult ICU patients compared to indwelling urinary catheters. The study will also gather feedback from ICU clinicians about the suitability of PureWick® urine output data to inform clinical decision-making.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
32
A thin, flexible, sterile tube that is inserted through the urethra into the bladder to drain urine, typically into a urine meter
A non-sterile, external catheter intended for non-invasive urine output management
Intermountain Medical Center
Murray, Utah, United States
Urine Capture Rate
Capture rate is calculated as the weight of captured urine (post-void graduated cylinder weight - pre-void graduated cylinder weight) / total urine volume (captured urine + leaked urine (post-void absorbent pad weight - pre-void absorbent pad weight) \* 100
Time frame: Approximately every 4 hours for up to 72 hours
ICU Clinician Acceptability
A survey completed by ICU clinicians to assess the suitability of using urine output measurement data to inform clinical decision making on a 4-point Likert scale with lower scores indicating a better outcome.
Time frame: From start of the observation period to the end of the observation period, up to 72 hours
