Catheter Related Bloodstream Infection

This prospective observational study was designed to assess the incidence of, risk factors for, and outcome of catheter-related bloodstream infection in children undergoing cardiac surgery. A staff specifically trained to handle the central venous catheters with proper aseptic techniques and an appropriate patient to medical staff ratio remain the most effective measures to prevent this infection.

AbstractOne hundred fifty-one central venous catheters (CVCs) were observed for development of infection. The infection rate was higher for CVCs with a duration of less than 6 days than for those with a longer duration. Our data suggest that scheduled replacement of CVCs is not necessary.
