title: Why should I have to use a catheter?
abstract: The No Catheter – No CAUTI campaign urges all clinicians to keep catheter use to a minimum and ensure that when they are used, they are used properly. Supporters want a revolution in awareness, putting catheters and associated infections on the same level as, for example, handwashing and drip-line infections.
