Minimizing Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infections
Advances in Neonatal Care, 2009Catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) is the most common complication related to peripherally inserted central catheters in the neonatal intensive care unit. CRBSIs are responsible for many morbidities and mortalities occurring in special care nurseries.

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.

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

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 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 ...

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-

Prevention of Vascular Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infections
Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2016Catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) are responsible for significant morbidity, mortality, and excess health care costs. It is increasingly evident that many CRBSI can be prevented with current knowledge and techniques. Preventive measures can be broadly grouped into clinical practice-based interventions and technologic innovations. Clinical

Vascular Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infections
2010Intravascular catheter insertion is an integral part of the care received by almost every patient admitted to a hospital. Patients in intensive care units (ICU) may have multiple types of catheters placed during their hospital stay (Table 28.1). Each year millions of intravascular catheters are inserted into patients for administration of medications ...
