Microbes and Infection, 2004
Nosocomial infections are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among hospitalized patients. These infections have made newspaper headlines recently in many countries, and both patients and their relatives are now perfectly aware of their existence and of the risks which are inherent to any medical activity.

Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infection
Surgical Clinics of North America, 2009Catheter-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 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 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 ...

Intravascular-catheter-related infections
The Lancet, 1998Results: Catheter-related bloodstream infections may be diagnosed by different methods, including simultaneous quantitative blood cultures, with the central blood culture yielding at least 5-fold colony-forming units greater than the peripheral blood culture, and simultaneous blood cultures, whereby the catheter-drawn blood culture becomes positive at ...

Catheter-related Staphylococcus aureus infections
Journal of Hospital Infection, 1993Among 3394 patients with Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia from the years 1986-89, 88 patients were found whose intravenous catheter and blood grew organisms of the same phage type. Strains of phage type 95 were more frequent among the patients with confirmed catheter-related bacteraemia than among other bacteraemia cases. Strains with particular phage-

Intravascular catheters are an inherent part of medical practice and may be inserted for a wide variety of indications from the basic (administration of medications or fluids) to the complex (e.g., hemodynamic monitoring of critically ill patients). One significant risk associated with the use of these catheters is infection. The infection may be local

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 ...
