Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infection: Microbiological Profile and its Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern at Tertiary Care Centre

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2023
Central venous catheters are commonly inserted to monitor patients with critical illnesses. Even when used to treat very ill patients, they are susceptible to widespread headaches, including central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI ...

Data requirements for electronic surveillance of healthcare-associated infections [PDF]

, 2014
Electronic surveillance for healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) is increasingly widespread. This is driven by multiple factors: a greater burden on hospitals to provide surveillance data to state and national agencies, financial pressures to be more ...

Epicutaneo‐caval catheter occlusion in neonates without heparin infusion during parenteral nutrition: A descriptive cohort study

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 247-251, February 2026.
Abstract Background Heparin is frequently infused in neonatal central venous catheters to prevent occlusion during parenteral nutrition despite limited evidence of its effectiveness and potential safety concerns in preterm infants. This study evaluated the incidence of catheter occlusion in epicutaneo‐caval catheters managed without heparin in a large ...

Bloodstream Infection Incidence of Different Central Venous Catheters in Neonates: A Descriptive Cohort Study

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2017
Central venous catheters (CVCs) in neonates are associated with a risk of central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI). Most reports on the incidence of CLABSI in neonates focus on umbilical venous catheters (UVCs) and peripherally inserted ...

Microbiome signatures in neonatal central line associated bloodstream infections.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Neonates are at high risk for central line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI). Biofilm formation is universal on indwelling catheters but why some biofilms seed the bloodstream to cause CLABSI is not clearly understood. With the objective to test

25. The journey to zero CLABSI: Impact of unit-based CLABSI prevention program

Journal of the Saudi Heart Association, 2015
The Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infection (CLABSI) is inevitable contributing factor in increased morbidity and mortality of patients admitted to Intensive Care Units (ICU) worldwide resulting in an increased financial cost and prolonged hospital stay (Ascher et al., 2012; Rosenthal et al., 2012).CLABSI prevention strategies are the important ...

Caring for the child with intestinal failure on home parenteral nutrition: A scoping review

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 26-38, January 2026.
Abstract Background Children with intestinal failure have significant long‐term medical needs that require continual complex procedures provided by the family caregiver in the home. This contributes to a high burden of care, leading to increased stress, anxiety, and depression.
