Strategies for Prevention of Catheter. Related Infections n n Quality Assurance and Continuing Education Surveillance q q n Monitor the catheter sites visually or by palpation through the intact dressing on a regular basis, Manifestations suggesting local or BSI, the dressing should be removed to allow thorough examination of the site Hand Hygiene and Aseptic Technique q q q Maximal sterile barrier precautions (e. g. , cap, mask, sterile gown, sterile gloves, and large sterile drape) during the insertion of CVCs Hand hygiene before and after inserting, replacing, accessing, or dressing an intravascular catheter. Washing hands with conventional antiseptic-containing soap and water or with waterless alcohol-based gels or foams.

Strategies for Prevention of CR Infections n Site of Catheter Insertion q q Femoral catheters: relatively high colonization rates, higher risk for deep venous thrombosis Internal jugular cath: higher risk for infection than those inserted into a subclavian or femoral vein

Strategies for Prevention of CR Infections n Catheter Site Dressing Regimens q Transparent, semipermeable polyurethane dressings: n n n Reliably secure the device, Permit continuous visual inspection of the catheter site, Permit patients to bathe Require less frequent changes than do standard gauze A meta-analysis: The risk for CRBSIs did not differ between the groups using transparent dressings versus groups using gauze dressing. If blood is oozing from the catheter insertion site, gauze dressing might be preferred.
Strategies for Prevention of CR Infections n Catheter Site Dressing Regimens q Chlorhexidine-impregnated sponge (Biopatch™) placed over the site n n A multi-center study: reduced the risk for catheter colonization and CRBSI. No adverse systemic effects resulted from use of this device.

Strategies for Prevention of CR Infections n Antibiotic/Antiseptic Ointments q q n Povidone-iodine ointment Mupirocin ointment Antibiotic Lock Prophylaxis q q Flushing and filling the lumen of the catheter with an antibiotic solution and leaving the solution to dwell in the lumen of the catheter. Heparin plus 25 micrograms/ml of vancomycin Vancomycin/ciprofloxacin/heparin combination Minocycline and ethylenediaminetetraraacetic acid (EDTA)
Strategies for Prevention of CR Infections n Anticoagulants q q Prevent catheter thrombosis Heparin flush Heparin-bonded coating Warfarin
Strategies for Prevention of CR Infections n Replacement of intravascular catheters q q q Replace CVCs if purulence is observed at the insertion site Replace CVCs if the patient is hemodynamically unstable and CRBSI is suspected Do not use guidewire techniques to replace catheters in patients suspected of having catheter-related infection
Strategies for Prevention of CR Infections n Replacement of administration sets q q q Replace administration sets, and add-on devices, no more frequently than at 72 -hour intervals, unless catheter-related infection is suspected Replace tubing used to administer blood, blood products, or lipid emulsions within 24 hours If the solution contains only dextrose and amino acids, the administration set does not need to be replaced more frequently than every 72 hours
