Infants central line-associated bloodstream infection risk influenced by catheter dwell time
Nirupama Palakodeti and Gopinath TV
Abstract
A central venous catheter is associated with significant morbidity and mortality in the NICU because of the
risks of central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI). Study participants were asked to
determine whether dwell time affected the incidence of CLABSI. ICR studies retrospectively collected data
on 6663 infants with 7783 catheters and 128044 catheter-connected days across 70 neonatal intensive
care units.
