Fatores de riscos para infecção primária de corrente sanguínea associada a cateter venoso central em pacientes críticos

Objective: To analyze the risk factors for the initiation of primary bloodstream infection associated with a Central Venous Catheter (CVC) in critical patients. Method: quantitative study, descriptive-exploratory, performed in the ICU of a private hospital in Teresina-PI, with 12 nurses. A questionnaire was applied to the participants, analyzed through statistical analysis.

The examination to diagnose the infection was blood culture associated with phlogistic signs.To prevent IPCS, hand hygiene (83.33%), with secretion at the insertion site as the main signal (75%).All participants consider that the moment of insertion has a potential impact on the IPCS (100%), are able to provide care to patients using CVC (100%) and are aware of the risks of use (100%). The daily evaluation is performed (100%), 83.33% consider the use of sterile gloves for dressing and cleaning with alcohol at 70% of the ends of the catheter (75%).
