Summary
Nowadays there are two types of urinary catheter securement devices, adhesive and elastic bands. The goal of this clinical trial is to determine which type of device-adhesive or elastic-is more effective for securing urinary catheters in critically ill patients. The study also aims to evaluate the prevention of urethral meatus injuries, patient discomfort, and the incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infections . The main questions the trial aims to answer are: * Which device type better prevents injuries to the urethral meatus? * Which device reduces discomfort for patients? * Which device lowers the incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infections? Participants will: * Use either an adhesive or an elastic device to secure their urinary catheter during their stay in critical care * Be monitored regularly to assess any injuries, discomfort, or infections related to the catheter * Provide feedback on their comfort and any complications experienced, if they are able to communicate
