Abstract

Background: CENTRAL VENOUS CATHETER (CVP)-related infection is one of the most frequent complications, seen with CENTRAL VENOUS CATHETERization. This complication occurs with 3% to 7% of catheters. It can be localized or systemic. This complication may increase morbidity and mortality rates, and may prolong hospitalization. Moreover, it can increase medical service costs.Strategies for preventing of this complication should be determined by the incidence of infection and the type of the colonized microorganism.Materials and Methods: In this cross sectional descriptive-analytical study, adult patients who required for more than 3 days catheterization were evaluated from 2002 till 2003 at Loghman medical center. Residents of general surgery inserted all of the catheters with the same manner and removed them in a sterile condition. Then the distal 5cm of the tip and 5cm subcontinents segment sent to hospital lab. for performing semi quantitative culture. Fifteen or more colony forming units (CFU) of any segment of catheter without clinical evidence of infection defined as COLONIZATION but isolation of the same organism (with the same species and arteriogram) of 15 or more CFU from blood and one or both catheter segment at the same time with no other identified source defined as catheter-related blood stream infection (CR-BSI).Results: Of 202 patients with CVPs, 4 patients (1.98%) had CR-BSI and 47 patients (23.22%) had COLONIZATION. The most common organism that colonized was coagulas negative staphylococcus. Although there was meaningful correlation between duration of catheterization and indication for catheterization and prevalence of COLONIZATION but there was not any statistical relation between these factors and CR-BSI.Conclusion: Over all incidences of COLONIZATION and CR-BSI in our study was similar to those observed in other studies. It can be concluded that the causative organisms of CR-BSI and catheter COLONIZATION are originated from skin around catheter insertion site.
