“Central Venous Catheter Related Blood Stream Infection Rate In Critical Care Unit In a Tertiary Care Centre”
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
Blood stream infections related to central venous catheterization are one of the major deviceassociated infections reported. Patients admitted in critical care units requiring central venous catheterization and presenting with signs of septicemia during catheterization period were investigated for catheter-related blood stream infections (CRBSI). Approximately 200,000 cases of Bacteraemia occur annually with mortality rate ranging from 20% to 50%. Site of insertion of catheter and duration of catheterization did not show the influence on the CRBSI rate. Since central venous catheters are increasingly being used in the critical care, regular surveillance for infection associated them are essential.
