COSMOS Study Microbiological Results: Bacterial Colonization and Infection of Long-Term Peripheral Catheters
نویسندگان
چکیده
As the use of intravenous devices (IVD) has risen so have the number of serious complications, mainly infectious, associated with its use. In fact, IVD are currently the most important independent cause of nosocomial infection in the health care sector [1,2]. Catheter-related infections (CRI) are the leading cause of primary septicemia with a high prevalence leading to increased hospital stays and costs. Furthermore they carry a 3% mortality [3].

Background & Aim: Peripherally intravenous catheters (PIVs) are an important part of therapy for hospitalized children. Although such catheters provide necessary vascular access, their use puts patients at risk for local and systemic infectious complications with serious morbidity. Migration of skin organisms at the insertion site into the coetaneous catheter tract with colonization of the cath...
