Biofilm and catheter-related bloodstream infections

British Journal of Nursing, 2021
Careful 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

Intravascular Catheter–Related Bloodstream Infections

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2018
Despite 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

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2009
Catheter-related bloodstream infections (CR-BSIs) are a common, frequently preventable complication of central venous catheterization. CR-BSIs can be prevented by strict attention to insertion and maintenance of central venous catheters and removing unneeded catheters as soon as possible.

Catheter-related Bloodstream Infection

2012
The 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 ...

Catheter‐related Bloodstream Infections

World Journal of Surgery, 1999
Abstract.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, 1999
Central 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 ...
