“…As demonstrated previously, 17,24,25 univariate analysis showed an association between insertion of an SPVC for more than 72 h and the frequency of complications. This result confirms the necessity for removal of the catheter at the earliest opportunity.…”

“…In addition, many studies have shown an association between signs of local inflammation and positive catheter culture. 6,8,25,[31][32][33] Furthermore, nurses should look for signs of local complications on a daily basis and alert the physician whenever they appear. The physician should then decide whether it is necessary to replace or to remove the catheter and to carry out microbiological investigations.…”

“…Many studies have shown an association between signs of local inflammation and positive catheter culture [19,[54][55][56][57][58]. However, COSMOS found a bacterial phlebitis rate of 3.7% corresponding to 10.1 cases per 1000 catheter/days for the total sample, significantly lower than that reported in a similar study (9.5%) [44].…”

BackgroundAs the use of intravenous devices (IVD) has risen so have the number of serious complications, mainly infectious, associated with its use. In fact, IVD are currently the most important independent cause of nosocomial infection in the health care sector [1,2]. Catheter-related infections (CRI) are the leading cause of primary septicemia with a high prevalence leading to increased hospital stays and costs. Furthermore they carry a 3% mortality [3]. Catheter-related infection in peripheral cathetersSpanish data from the program of surveillance of infections in AbstractBackground: Peripheral venous catheters (PVC) have a lower risk of the infection than central venous catheters (CVC), however, their high frequency of use makes PVC a major problem.

“…or from other sources such as injection ports, three way taps and connecting tubes [4]. The most common contaminating organism is Staphylococcus epidermidis [5] and septicaemia associated with contaminated intravenous cannulae has been reported to occur in 0-8% of all cannulations [6]. Anaesthetists who use hypodermic needles as air inlets presumably do so because of convenient availability of the needles, and because of their low cost.…”
