We evaluated the rate of central venous catheter (CVC) removal in 283 cancer patients with bloodstream infections (BSIs). Removal of CVCs occurred unnecessarily in 57% of patients with non-central-line-associated BSI (non-CLABSI), which was equivalent to the rate of CVC removal in patients with CLABSIs. Physician education and safe interventions to salvage the vascular access are warranted. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2018;39:222-225.
我们评估了 283 例患有血流感染(BSI)的癌症患者中心静脉导管(CVC)的拔除率。57%的非导管相关血流感染(non-CLABSI)患者的 CVC 被不必要地拔除,这与导管相关血流感染(CLABSI)患者的 CVC 拔除率相当。需要对医生进行教育,并采取安全的干预措施来挽救血管通路。感染控制与医院流行病学 2018;39:222-225。
