Abstract
|
|
|
|
Catheter-related infections (CRIs) are one of the most frequent healthcare-associated infections and are costly, morbid, and potentially lethal. A series of studies has confirmed that a comprehensive bundle approach based on known guidelines was successful in reducing catheter-related bloodstream infections in intensive care units. In this review, I’ll summarize the previous recommendations made in 2002 on preventing CRIs and highlight recent advances and the evidences supporting novel methods of CRIs prevention published in research articles.
