| Popis: | Aim To evaluate the incidence of surgical site infections and bacteremias occurring within 30 days from insertion of partially implanted central venous catheters. Patients and Methods Four hundred eighteen devices positioned in children with cancer or undergoing bone marrow transplant were followed prospectively. Results During a follow-up of 12,394 catheter-days, a total of 13 infectious episodes were documented, with an overall incidence of 3.1% and 1.05 episodes/1,000 catheter-days. Coagulase-negative staphylococci represented the causative pathogens of all episodes. Overall, surgical wound infections occurred in 1.4% of all catheters, with a rate of 0.48/1,000 catheter-days, while isolated bacteremias were observed in 1.7% of all inserted devices, with a rate of 0.57/1,000 catheter-days. Conclusions Infections are rare events within 30 days from insertion of partially implanted central venous catheters and coagulase-negative staphylococci represent the most frequently isolated cause of these complications.
