Impact of a ‘Catheter Bundle’ on Infection Rates and Economic Costs in the Intensive Care Unit: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Introduction: Catheter-related infections (CBRSIs) are a widespread problem that increase morbidity and mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) patients and management costs. Objective: The main aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of CBRSIs in an intensive care unit following international literature guidelines for managing vascular lines in critically ill patients. These guidelines include changing vascular lines every 7 days, using needle-free devices and port protectors, standardising closed infusion lines, employing chlorhexidine-impregnated dressings, and utilising sutureless devices for catheter securement. Materials and Methods: This single-centre retrospective observational study was conducted in a general Italian ICU.
