چکیده
Introduction The cost of Catheter Related Bloodstream Infections (CRBSI) is substantial both in terms of morbidity and in terms of financial resources expended [1]. Rationale of current study was to evaluate two different dressing methods, chlorhexidine soaked gauze dressing and standard transparent polyurethane dressing in order to devise local guidelines for better infection control measures in our resource constraint settings.
