TO STUDY THE INCIDENCE OF BLOODSTREAM INFECTIONS RELATED TO CENTRAL VENOUS CATHETERISATION IN INTENSIVE CARE UNIT OF A TERTIARY LEVEL HOSPITAL

Dr. Abhishek Shrivastava, Dr. Abhishek Gupta

Abstract


Introduction: This study was designed to evaluate incidence of bloodstream infections related to
central venous catheterisation in intensive care unit of a tertiary level hospital.
Material and methods: Study place- Intensive care unit of a tertiary level hospital
Study population-150 patients were included in study after meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria. All the patients who
received a CVC (Jugular/subclavian/femoral) in the operation theatre either as a part of anaesthetic care or in the ICU, were
included in the study.
Study design- It was Prospective observational study.
Result: This study revealed a total of 24.66% of CVC associated infections. This included exit site infections (5.33%), catheter tip
infections (13.33%) and CRBSI (6%). The rate of infections associated with Central Venous Catheterization was 35.03 per 1000
catheter days.
