CLINICAL GUIDELINE FOR CLEAN CATCH URINE MICROBIOLOGY SAMPLE.
CLINICAL GUIDELINE FOR CLEAN CATCH URINE COLLECTION FROM INFANTS AND CHILDREN FOR MICROBIOLOGY SAMPLE. 1. Aim/Purpose of this Guideline 1.1 This guideline aims to provide clear and standardised guidance in obtaining urine samples from infants and children. 2. The Guidance Urine Collection: • A clean catch urine sample is the recommended method for urine collection and must be attempted for all patients. NICE clinical guidance 54.2007 Before you start to collect the sample: Explain procedure to child and family as relevant, and obtain informed consent. Clean area as follows: Boys: Make sure the head of the penis is wiped clean with lukewarm water. Girls: Wipe between the labia with lukewarm water and rinse well. When to collect a sample: Good times to catch a sample are: • When the child has had a bottle or a drink. • When you are changing a nappy. • Bath time. • When weighing child. Note: Have sterile foil bowl close to hand and ready to use. How to collect a sample: 1. Place sterile foil bowl under the child’s genital area. If child is potty trained it may be helpful to place the sterile bowl into a potty and collect the sample in this. 2. An older child may be able to urinate directly into the container. 3. If possible a mid stream sample is best, the first urine when the child begins to urinate may be contaminated with bacteria from the skin. If Clinical Guideline for clean catch urine collection in infants and children for microbiology sample. Page 1 of 7 possible avoid the first urine and obtain sample whist urine is in ‘full flow.’ 4. If parent/carers collecting sample ensure they are educated to use sterile bowl correctly. E.g. not to place fingers on rim of bowl. Use gloves if necessary. 5. Transfer urine into sterile collection pot from PHLS, using appropriate personal protective equipment. If using a red top pot with Boric Acid, ensure you fill to the line with urine. A silver top pot must be used if you have insufficient sample for a red top pot. Complete investigation form and send to relevant laboratory. 6. Document in patient’s notes/care profile that sample has been taken including method obtained, date and time sent in compliance with RCHT trust standards for documentation and sample collection. If a clean catch sample is unobtainable: • Other non-invasive methods such as urine collection pads should be used (see Clinical Guidelines for Urine Pad Collection in Infants and Children.) It is important to follow the manufacturers’ instructions when using urine collection pads. • Cotton wool balls, gauze and sanitary towels should NOT be used in infants and children. • When it is not possible or practicable to collect urine by non-invasive methods, catheter samples or suprapubic aspiration (SPA) should be used. • Before SPA is attempted, ultrasound guidance should be used to demonstrate the presence of urine in the bladder. NICE clinical guidance 54.2007 PLEASE NOTE: • • Urine collection bags may still be used where large amounts of urine are required for other non microbiology investigations. Urine samples must not be collected when a patient has confirmed diarrhea unless specifically requested. This can lead to contamination of the sample.
