Abstract

Central venous catheters (CVCs) are commonly used to deliver a variety of therapies such as chemotherapy and parenteral nutrition. It is well known that there are complications associated with CVCs; a major complication is catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI). Many strategies exist to prevent CVC complications and CRBSI. This paper will focus on the fight against CRBSI using 3 products at the catheter insertion site: 2% chlorhexidine, BioPatch, and transparent split dressings. Lists of key recommendations from national organizations for infection prevention are included.
