New Technologies to Prevent Intravascular Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infections

New Technologies to Prevent Intravascular Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infections

Most intravascular catheter-related infections are associated with central venous catheters. Technologic advances shown to reduce the risk for these infections include a catheter hub containing an iodinated alcohol solution, short-term chlorhexidine-silver sulfadiazine-impregnated catheters, minocyc...
