Central venous catheter contamination rate in suspected sepsis patients - an observational clinical study
Conclusion: Although only a minority of CLABSI-suspect patients had positive blood cultures, the contamination rate of central venous catheters and administration set was high, possibly indicating a relevant under-reporting. The finding of identical species in adjacent segments underlines the role of upward or downward spread of microorganisms within the tubes, therefore aseptic tasks should be emphasized.
