Bladder irrigation with tap water to reduce antibiotic use for urinary tract infections in catheter users
These findings emphasise the potential of BI with tap water as a promising and patient-friendly alternative for the treatment of UTIs in patients with urinary catheters. BI with tap water significantly reduces antibiotic use and UTI incidence in patients with recurrent UTIs and is a safe and patient-friendly alternative that can be easily implemented in the management of UTIs.
