Introduction: Intensive care units (ICUs) are intended for patients known as critical, requiring care that requires greater health care complexities, in a specialized and continuous manner. UTIs are characterized by several clinical conditions that occur due to the presence of microorganisms in the urinary tract, which colonize the region after attaching themselves to the epithelium. The use of an indwelling urinary catheter (SVD) is linked to a high rate of UTI, corresponding to approximately 70% to 98% of asymptomatic bacteriuria and 10% to 35% of symptomatic infections. Methodology: The research was developed through an integrative review of the literature, using a synopsis of results found through previously published research, with the aim of carrying out a discussion on the data obtained. Results and Discussion: According to the results of this study, it was found that, despite bringing great benefits to many patients, the use of urethral catheters presented consequences and risks due to manipulation of the urinary tract. A scoping review that evaluated infection factors related to nursing procedures in the ICU showed that, seeking to prevent or reduce the incidence of Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs), nursing has resources to improve the execution of SVD (survey bladder delay) (PAIVA et al., 2021). Conclusion: It can be seen that evidence-based interventions can facilitate the assessment of the need for urinary catheterization and promote the removal of the catheter when it is no longer necessary, resulting in a reduction in urinary tract infection (UTI) rates.
