INTRODUCTION: Central venous catheter (CVC) placement is an unavoidable part of the everyday medical practice. At the same time CVC application is associated with high risk of development of central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs). These infections are cause of icreased morbidity and mortality rates as well as higer costs of the inpatient treatment2. Risk factors for onset of CLABSIs include duration of catheterization, length of hospital stay before catheterization, anatomic site of placement, CVC placement at the intensive care units (ICU), parenteral nutrition (PN) and ommisions diring CVC placement, use and care. CLABSI incidence rates vary depending on distribution of different risk factors associated with CVC and patient him/herself. The most significant causative organisms of CLABSIs are coagulase-negative Staphylococcocae, Staphylococcus aureus (S.aures), Enterococcus spp. i Candida spp. CLABSIs prevention measures include compliance with the rules of the aseptic technique upon placement, use and care of CVCs, which, based on the study results, may enable prevention of 65% to 70% of cases of CLABSIs. METHODS: A prospective cohort study included 200 patients hospitalized at the intensive care and therapy units of the CCS Clinic of Digestive Surgery in the period November 30th, 2006-November 31st, 2007 in whom CVC was placed for more than 48 hours. All the data necessary for the study were obtained based on the review of the case histories and they were recorded into the individual questionnaires for each patient. The questionnarire included patient information (age, gender, underlying disease, presence of other infections), information related to diagnostic and therapeutic procedures to which the patient was exposed. The incidence of CRBSIs in ICU patients, Institute of Digestive Diseases, CCS over the study period was 10.08 per 1,000 catheter-days. During the study CLABSI more often present in the females. Additionally, application of albumin and amino acids, ICU stay longer that 7 days and CVC application longer than 15 days, significantly more often present in patients with CRBSIs than in the group of patients without CRBSIs. Independent factors for development of CRBSI are gender, administration of albumin and amino acids. The most common microorganisms isolated from hemocultures and CVC were S. aureus and Klebsiella spp., with 31,8% of isolates each. Statistically significant difference was evidenced in frequency of resistance of S. aureus isolates to methicillin in the group of patients with CRBSI in comparison to the group of patients without CLABSIs. CLABSIs prevention measurs include compliance with the rules of the aseptic technique upon placement, use and care of CVCs.
