Title. Catheter‐related bloodstream infections in intensive care units: a systematic review
with meta‐analysis Aim. This paper is a report of a systematic review and meta‐analysis of …

Among currently available vascular access options for hemodialysis, central venous
catheters show the poorest reliability, with frequent complications of thrombosis and stenosis …

Controversy surrounds the role of central venous catheters (CVCs) impregnated with
antimicrobial agents in the prevention of catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI). We …

Antimicrobial lock solutions may be needed to salvage indwelling catheters in patients
requiring continuous intravenous therapy. We determined the activity of minocycline, EDTA …

Objectives: Increasing numbers of patients for whom infection is a major risk are dependent
on central venous catheters. Antibiotic–anticoagulant locks may have a role in preventing or …

OBJECTIVETo evaluate a central line care maintenance bundle to reduce central line–
associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) in non–intensive care unit settings …

Backgrounds Antiseptic bathing did not reduce central-line (CL) associated bloodstream
infection (CLABSI) rates in intensive care units (ICU) according to a recent cluster …

Objectives Antibiotic locks may be used to prevent haemodialysis catheter-related infections
(CRIs). This in vitro study tested the effectiveness of a novel 30% ethanol/4% trisodium …

Background Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) are a cause of
increased morbidity and mortality, and are largely preventable. We documented attitudes …

Intravascular catheter-associated bloodstream infections significantly increase rates of
morbidity and hospital costs. Microbial colonization and development of biofilms, which are …
