Abstract:
Central venous catheters are indispensable in modern-day medical practice in neonatal intensive care units.Infection is the most frequent serious complication during these catheter-inserted days.Several strategies to prevent catheter-related infections are disputed all over the world.Studies have shown that some measures played a role in reducing the infection rate,which include maximal sterile barrier precautions,chlorhexidine preparation for skin antisepsis,routine replacement of catheter site dressings and connection sets,time-limited catheter insert,removal catheter after infected,antibiotic locked catheters and so on.
