Few studies have focused on the risks of peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVs) as sources for Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB), a life-threatening complication. We identified 34 PIV-related infections (7.6%) in a cohort of 445 patients with SAB. Peripheral intravenous catheter-related SAB was associated with significantly longer bacteremia duration and thrombophlebitis at old PIV sites rather than current PIVs.
很少有研究关注外周静脉导管(PIV)作为金黄色葡萄球菌血症(SAB)来源的风险,这是一种危及生命的并发症。我们在 445 例 SAB 患者的队列中发现了 34 例与 PIV 相关的感染(7.6%)。与当前 PIV 相比,外周静脉导管相关 SAB 与较长的菌血症持续时间和陈旧 PIV 部位的血栓性静脉炎显著相关。
