CVC is the main factor of risk of bloodstream infections. This study purpose was determining both etiology and pathogenesis of these infections in 80 patients who undergone gastrointestinal surgery and who worn long lasting CVC, in the institution HC-UFU. Cultures were made in nostril, skin of the insertion site, tip and catheter hub, in addition to hemoculture in those suspects of sepsis. The colonization incidence rate of the catheter tip was 12.5/ 1,000 catheter days and the CVC associate infection rate was 3.1/1,000 catheter days. Frequencies of skin, hub and catheter tip colonization were 13.8%, 8.9% and 13.3%, respectively. Coagulase-negative Staphylococci were the most found microorganisms in nostril (74%), skin (45.4%) and hub (75%) and... |
