“…The same result as reported in Wang et al study who reported that gender was not a significant risk factor for CRBSI occurrence. While in contrast Inamdar et al reported that gender is a risk factor for occurrence of CRBSI as their study reported there was statistically significant difference between males and females, as female’s gender was a risk factor for CRBSI occurrence 14 …”

IntroductionCatheter related blood stream infection (CRBSI) is the main complication of central venous catheter (CVC) use. The aim of the study is to improve the safety of patients with central venous catheter in National Heart Institute (NHI) medical cardiac care units.MethodsA Prospective cohort study was conducted on one hundred and eleven cardiac patients in (NHI) cardiac care units from August 2017 to February 2018. All patients subjected to central venous catheter (CVC) in cardiac care units, NHI, were included except: 1. Patients with obvious source of infection, 2. Immunocompromised patients, 3. patients having infective endocarditis, 4. patients whose catheter was put outside NHI.ResultsNoncompliance of health care providers to care bundle elements of CVC of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) represents a risk factor for CRBSI occurrence. Coagulase negative staphylococci was the most common isolated organism.ConclusionHealth care providers should adhere care bundle elements recommended by CDC during insertion and handling of CVC. This will in turn decrease CRBSI.

Background: Central Venous Catheter (CVC) use as vascular access to the systemic circulation is highly vital for Hemodialysis (HD) patients. Catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) is the main complication of CVC use. Aim of the work: To assess the use of surveillance cultures (SCs) to prevent CRBSIs in asymptomatic HD patients. Patients and Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted on eighteen HD patients with CVC, admitted to Dialysis Units of Benha University Hospitals and Meet Ghamr Nephrology and Urology Hospital during the period from October 2016 to March 2017. Endoluminal colonization of the catheter was assessed every 15 days by inoculating ~5-10 mL of endoluminal blood into aerobic blood culture bottles. Individual patients were triaged based on SC results: group 1 (negative); group 2 (coagulase-negative Staphylococcus [CoNS] with time-topositivity (TTP) >14 hours); group 3 (CoNS with TTP ≤14 hours); and group 4 (any microorganism other than CoNS with any TTP or CoNS with Differential Time to Positivity (DTP) more than 120 minutes). Results: A total of 60 SCs were collected with a mean number per patient of 3.3. Of which 24 SCs (40%) were negative (group 1), and 36 SCs (60%) were positive (0 in group 2, 6 in group 3, and 30 in group 4). Under this protocol, the incidence density of CRBSI was 10.8 episodes per 1000 catheter days. Conclusion: SCs based on easily accessible samples proved useful in triaging HD patients at a high risk of infection.
