Catheter-related Bloodstream Infection
2012The development of catheter-related septicemia is the most serious complication of venous access. Risk factors may be related to the patients, to the catheter or to the location in which the procedure is performed. The most common organism isolated from catheter tip cultures are skin flora such as Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus and ...

Biofilm and catheter-related bloodstream infections
British Journal of Nursing, 2021Careful attention to detail and adherence to procedure guidelines when inserting and managing intravascular catheters has decreased the incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs). In order to limit these, health professionals must understand the underlying microbiology. Biofilms can explain the clinical findings most often seen with

Diagnosis of catheter-related bloodstream infection
Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2005Catheter-related bloodstream infection is a potentially serious condition with a mortality rate of 12% to 25%. Catheter-related bacteremia is difficult to diagnose, and clinical manifestations of the condition have proved to be unspecific and often inconclusive.

Catheter‐related Bloodstream Infections
World Journal of Surgery, 1999Abstract.Catheter‐related bloodstream infections (CBIs) rank among the most frequent and potentially lethal nosocomial infections. Intravascular devices become contaminated on the outer surface during nonaseptic insertion or maintenance of the catheter exit site or endoluminally during hub manipulation.

Catheter-related bloodstream infectio
Current Infectious Disease Reports, 1999Central venous catheters are associated with the vast majority of nosocomial, catheter-related bloodstream infections (CR-BSI). Despite identification of multiple effective methods for preventing CR-BSI, it remains an important clinical problem. Catheters coated with anti-infective substances, such as chlorhexidine and silver sulfadiazine or rifampin ...

Prevention of Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infections
Advances in Surgery, 2008CRBSIs are expensive, prevalent, and often fatal complications. In the past few years, several preventive interventions have been applied with excellent results toward decreasing CRBSIs. Studies show that most CRBSIs are preventable; therefore, health care organizations should strive to substantially reduce if not eliminate them. In addition to being a

Intravascular Catheter–Related Bloodstream Infections
Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2018Despite recent gains, intravascular catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) remains an important clinical problem resulting in significant morbidity, mortality, and excess economic cost. Successful prevention of CRBSI requires careful attention to insertion and maintenance protocols as well as judicious application of innovative technologic ...

Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infection
2017Hemodialysis access-related bloodstream infections are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children maintained on hemodialysis. The rates of these infections are highly variable in large part due to the inconsistent definitions used to diagnose these infections and the failure to clearly delineate between primary and access-related ...

Catheter-related bloodstream infections in children
American Journal of Infection Control, 2008Patient characteristics and system-level factors place children at increased risk for catheter-related bloodstream infection (CR-BSI). National Healthcare Safety Network data from 36 pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) demonstrate a pooled mean of 5.3 CR-BSIs per 1000 catheter-days and a median of 3.5 CR-BSIs per 1000 catheter-days. Almost 60% of CR-

Catheter‐Related Bloodstream Infections in HIV‐Infected Patients
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2001Abstract: Bloodstream infections (BSI) constitute a significant public health problem and represent an important cause of morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients, with an approximate incidence of one episode per hundred hospital admissions. Studies on BSI in HIV+ patients have identified central venous catheters (CVC) as a risk factor, with ...
