Abstract
Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) are a common and significant health care-associated infection in hospitalized and nonhospitalized pediatric patients with central venous catheters. Interventions to prevent such infections have evolved over the last 2 decades, resulting in significant reductions in CLABSI rates through the development and implementation of evidence-based guidelines on prevention and management recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Healthcare Safety Network and pediatric infectious diseases and health care epidemiology professional societies. This review provides a detailed synopsis of CLABSIs in children, including the definition, pathogenesis, risk factors, prevention, and treatment principles.
期刊介绍:
Pediatrics in Review (PIR) is the American Academy of Pediatrics’ monthly peer-reviewed continuing medical education journal, designed to keep the general pediatric clinician current in all areas of pediatric medicine and to assist those participating in the Maintenance of Certification program of the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP).
The journal is one of the key components of the Academy’s continuing medical education program: PREP® (the Pediatrics Review and Education Program). Together, PIR and the PREP Self-Assessment comprise PREP The Curriculum®.
Each PIR review article includes quiz questions formulated by topic experts.
