1. Bloodstream infection in patients with end-stage renal disease in a teaching hospital in central-western Brazil
Introduction Vascular access in patients undergoing hemodialysis is considered a critical determinant of bloodstream infection (BSI) and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this study was to investigate the occurrence of BSI in patients with end-stage renal disease using central venous catheters for hemodialysis. Methods A coho

2. Preventing catheter-associated infections in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit: impact of an educational program surveying policies for insertion and care of central venous catheters in a Brazilian teaching hospital
Objectives: To determine the impact of an educational program on the prevention of central venous catheter-related infections in a Brazilian Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. Patients and Methods: All patients admitted to the unit between February 2004 and May 2005 were included in the cohort study in a longitudinal assessment. An educational program was develo

3. Etiopatogenia de infecções de corrente sangüínea por Staphylococcus epidermidis associadas e relacionadas ao uso de cateter vascular central em neonatos críticos
Infecções de corrente sanguínea associada/ relacionada a cateter vascular central (CVC) em Unidades de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal (UTINs) são freqüentes, graves e onerosas. O objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar a incidência de infecção de corrente sanguínea relacionada/associada a diferentes tipos de CVC e investigar a patogênese dessas infecções

4. Procedimento de inserção, manutenção e remoção do cateter central de inserção periférica em neonatos / Insertion, maintenance and removal procedures of peripherally inserted central catheters in neonates
O cateter central de inserção periférica (PICC) é um dispositivo cada vez mais utilizado nas Unidades de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal (UTIN). O objetivo do estudo foi caracterizar os neonatos (RN) submetidos ao procedimento de inserção do cateter PICC e descrever suas práticas de inserção, manutenção e remoção em RN. Estudo observacional com delin

5. Central venous catheter-related bloodstream infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus: microbiology and risk factors
Although central vascular catheters (CVC) are indispensable in modern medicine, they are an important risk factor for primary bacteremias. We examined the incidence and risk factors associated with catheter-related bloodstream infection (CR-BSI) caused by Staphylococcus aureus in surgical patients. A prospective study was carried out in the Hospital das Clí

6. Prospective multicenter study of vascular-catheter-related complications and risk factors for positive central-catheter cultures in intensive care unit patients.
To determine the incidence rate of complications associated with vascular catheters in intensive care unit patients and to analyze risk factors for a positive vascular culture, we performed a multicenter study of intensive care unit patients at eight French hospitals. During the study period, 865 intravenous catheters were inserted in 566 patients; 362 (41.8

7. Histologic Evidence of Angiographic Catheter-Induced Vascular Trauma: A Comparison of Conventional and Deformable Soft-Tip Catheters
Catheter-related complications associated with coronary arteriography remain an iatrogenic hazard with life-threatening consequences. Because such complications may be related to catheter-tip-induced vascular trauma during coronary angiography or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), several types of deformable, soft-tip angiographic cathete

8. Acinetobacter baumannii-Infected Vascular Catheters Collected from Horses in an Equine Clinic
Acinetobacter baumannii was isolated from tips clipped from seven intravenous jugular catheters collected from horses in the Ghent University equine clinic. They originated from seven different horses. Three of the seven showed evidence of local infection.

10. Peripherally inserted central venous catheters. Low-risk alternatives for ongoing venous access.
We prospectively evaluated the use of peripherally inserted central venous catheters to provide ongoing venous access in general medical and surgical patients in a Department of Veterans Affairs medical center. Between 1985 and 1988 trained nurses successfully inserted 393 catheters in 460 suitable patients (an 85.4% success rate). Correct catheter tip place

11. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy of in situ bacterial colonization of intravenous and intraarterial catheters.
Intravenous and intraarterial catheters were examined microbiologically and morphologically. Bacteria or yeasts were recovered from 38 of the 63 catheters examined, and Staphylococcus epidermidis was present on 29 of the 38 colonized catheters. Examination of unused Teflon catheters ( Jelco ; Surgikos , Inc., Peterborough , Ontario, Canada) showed surface ir

12. Modulation of biofilms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by quinolones.
The interaction between four fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, pefloxacin, and ofloxacin) and biofilms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in wells of microtiter plates and on segments of vascular catheters were studied in an in vitro model of vascular catheter colonization. Subinhibitory concentrations (one-half, one-fourth, and one-eight of the MIC) of t
