Article Synopsis
- Catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) pose significant health risks and additional costs for ICU patients, prompting a study to evaluate their prevalence in accordance with international guidelines for vascular line management.
- The study, conducted in an Italian ICU over five years, involved 1240 patients, revealing a total of 9 diagnosed CRBSIs with varying infection rates depending on catheter types.
- Results indicated that CRBSIs are associated with factors like nursing activity levels and specific ICU admission reasons, and implementing recommended care protocols incurred a cost of EUR 130.00 per patient.
