A Prospective Study of the Catheter Hub as the Portal of Entry for Microorganisms Causing Catheter-Related Sepsis in Neonates

1 Feb 1993

Abstract excerpt

The hypothesis that catheter-related sepsis (CRS) may be preceded by contamination of the catheter hub was tested in neonates with central venous catheters. Cultures of the catheter hub were obtained three times per week. One hundred thirteen catheters were placed in 88 patients. Of 35 episodes of sepsis, 28 were catheter-related, for a catheter sepsis rate of 1.03/100 catheter-days. CRS occurred in 26 (23%) of...
