“…Studies have shown that rates of success and complications for catheterization are related to the age and weight of the patient, urgency and appropriateness of the procedure and the experience of the operator (6,7). Some studies noted that complications during catheterization were not related to the age and weight (8)(9)(10). In our study, no relation was found between complications which occurred during catheterization and age and presence of malnutrition.…”

PICUs differ from adult intensive care units (ICUs) in a number of ways, apart from the age of their patients.…”

Una amplia variedad de microrganismos pueden ocasionar endocarditis infecciosa, un estudio de cohorte prospectivo en 2.781 pacientes, identificó Staphylococcus aureus en un 31% de los casos y el Streptococcus sp con un 17% y diferentes variedades de Enterococcus en un 11% 12,13 .…”
