Central venous catheter-related bloodstream infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus: microbiology and risk factors

Abstract: Although central vascular catheters (CVC) are indispensable in modern medicine, they are an important risk factor for primary bacteremias. We examined the incidence and risk factors associated with catheter-related bloodstream infection (CR-BSI) caused by Staphylococcus aureus in surgical patients. A prospective study was carried out in the Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (HC-UFU) from September 2000 to December 2002. The skin insertion site, catheter tip, and blood were microbiolog… Show more

“…Notably, the incidence of CLABSI was found to be Ͼ3-fold higher for intensive care units (ICUs) in countries in Latin America, Asia, Africa, and Europe than for ICUs in the United States (622). S. aureus follows CoNS as the major bacterium causing CLABSI, responsible for 14 to 41% of CLABSIs (624)(625)(626)(627). S. aureus CLABSI is associated with a 7 to 21% mortality rate (612,(628)(629)(630)(631)(632) and has been estimated to cost $9,830 to $14,136 per episode (633).…”

“…Já os fatores extrínsecos podem ser específicos quanto ao tipo de cateter ou comum a todos. Os principais fatores relacionados ao CVC são: local de inserção, presença ou ausência de túnel, número de lumens, uso de sistema de monitorização de pressão, infusão de nutrição parenteral, tempo de permanência do cateter, tipo de cateter, colonização da pele pericateter, dificuldade de inserção do cateter, local de internação e colonização do canhão (hub) (18,23,29,38,39,40) .…”
