Apr 12, 2024 · In the United States, 15 million central vascular catheter (CVC) days (i.e., the total number of days of exposure to CVCs among all patients in the selected population during the selected time period) occur in intensive care units (ICUs) each year [1].

This guideline applies to the management of central vascular catheters (CVC) once an infection is suspected, in patients of all ages. CVC infections include catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI), but also include infections that do not meet the …

Catheter-related bloodstream infections (CR-BSI) are one of the most important complications of the central venous catheters (CVCs). Our objective was to compare the in-hospital mortality when the catheter is removed or not removed in patients with CR-BSI.

Hemodialysis-central venous catheter (HD-CVC) insertion is a most often performed procedure, with approximately 80% of patients with end-stage kidney disease in the United States initiating kidney replacement therapy through a HD-CVC.

Central venous catheter-related bloodstream infections (CR-BSI) are a frequent event in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting. In contrast to other nosocomial infections, most risk factors for CR-BSI are linked to the device and can be prevented efficiently.

Intravascular devices have significant potential for producing iatrogenic diseases resulting in catheter-related blood stream infections (CRBSIs). A study was undertaken to find the prevalence of CRBSI among patients in acute wards and to analyze the associated risk factors, causative pathogens with their antibiotic susceptibility (ABST) patterns.

Use of central venous catheters (CVCs) is an integral part of current modern medicine, and their advantages are indisputable. CVCs provide hemodynamic monitoring of patients and access for the administration of fluids, medications, and total parenteral nutrition.

The majority of hospital-acquired BSIs are associated with the use of a CVC, with BSI rates being substantially higher among patients with CVCs than among those without CVCs. Rates of CVC-associated BSI vary considerably by hospital size, hospital service/unit, and type of CVC.

May 1, 2021 · Guidelines for prevention of catheter-related bloodstream infection (CR-BSI) describe a series of recommendations for correct insertion and handling of central venous catheters (CVCs).

Goals: Central venous catheter (CVC)-related bloodstream infection (CR-BSI) is a significant complication in hematology patients. A range of CVC devices may be used, and risks for the development of complications are not uniform.
