| Popis: | Central venous catheters (CVCs) are generally used in ICU patients. Nevertheless, bloodstream infections are common and dangerous complications of CVCs. The use of CVCs in ICU patients has contributed to the majority of nosocomial bloodstream infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Candida species. It was shown that more than 200,000 cases of CVC-related bloodstream infections occur annually in the United States, with mortality of 12–25%. |
