Title: | Infections associated with the central venous catheters | Authors: | Biljana Drašković Isambela Fabri Galambos Anna Uram Benka Goran Rakić |
Keywords: | infectious disease;central venous catheter;catheter-related infection | Issue Date: | 1-Jan-2014 | Journal: | Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo | Abstract: | Central venous catheters are of an essential importance to critically ill patients who require long-term venous access for various purposes. Their use made the treatment much easier, but still they are not harmless and are prone to numerous complications. Catheter infections represent the most significant complication in their use. The frequency of infections varies in different patient care settings, but their appearance mostly depends on the patient's health condition, catheter insertion time, localization of the catheter and type of the used catheter. Since they are one of the leading causes of nosocomial infections and related to significant number of morbidity and mortality in intensive care units, it is very important that maximal aseptic precautions are taken during the insertion and the maintenance period. Prevention of infection of the central venous catheters demands several measures that should be applied routinely. | URI: | https://open.uns.ac.rs/handle/123456789/6795 | ISSN: | 3708179 | DOI: | 10.2298/SARH1404261D |
