Summary

This pilot study is testing whether an external catheter called PureWick can measure urine output in adult ICU patients as accurately as the standard indwelling catheter (Foley tube). The study will compare how much urine each method captures and will ask ICU clinicians whether they would trust the external catheter's data for making treatment decisions. If it works, this could offer a more comfortable and less invasive option for monitoring urine in critically ill patients.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
External urinary catheter (PureWick) compared to an indwelling urinary catheter (Foley catheter)
What this could lead to
If the external catheter captures urine as accurately as the standard tube, it could offer a less invasive way to monitor urine output in intensive care, potentially improving patient comfort and reducing infection risk.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study, so results may not apply broadly. The external catheter may not capture urine as reliably, and clinicians might not find the data trustworthy enough for critical decisions.
