متن کاملEvaluation of Central Venous Catheter Associated Blood Stream Infections: A Microbiological Observational Study
There are substantial morbidity and mortality associated with vascular catheter use among crictically ill patients. The attributable mortality is 10% to 25% which is associated with bacteremia among those who are hospitalized. This study was undertaken to identify catheter related blood stream infections, to isolate pathogenic microorganisms present in intravascular catheter related local infec...
متن کاملNurse-directed interventions to reduce catheter-associated urinary tract infections.
BACKGROUND Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are common, morbid, and costly. Nearly 25% of hospitalized patients are catheterized yearly, and 10% develop urinary tract infections.

متن کاملCatheter-related blood stream infections in hemodialysis patients: a prospective cohort study
BACKGROUND For people requiring hemodialysis, infectious mortality is independently associated with geographic distance from a nephrologist. We aimed to determine if differential management of catheter-related blood stream infections (CRBSIs) could explain poorer outcomes. METHODS We prospectively collected data from adults initiating hemodialysis with a central venous catheter between 2005 a...
