Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Correlation of BWT with CFU in urine culture samples of suspected CAUTI patients . Timepoint: Baseline bladder wall thickness will be measured immediately after ICU admission and do observe bladder wall thickness every alternate day untill fever episode start after that bladder wall thickness will be measured every day Untill Discharge/LAMA/Expire. Regarding colony count baseline count will done after 72 hours of admission and on the day of fever episode and every 5th day Untill Discharge/LAMA/Expire.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Incidence of colonization & CAUTI. Cut-off value of BWT for differentiating colonisation & CAUTI. Effect of bladder wash with 2% Betadine (povidone iodine irrigation solution). Timepoint: For effect of bladder wash, BWT will be taken on the day of fever & thereafter every day (after excluding other sources of infection) untill patient Discharge/LAMA/Expire.	—
