Abstract
To check adherence to the Central Venous Catheter maintenance bundle in an Intensive Care Unit, after an educational intervention to the professionals who provide care to patients using this catheter. Descriptive-exploratory study, carried out in two stages: stage 1 - educational intervention and stage 2 - verification/observation of adherence. Data were organized in the Microsoft Excel® and analyzed through the Stata®. Sixty three workers participated in stage 1 and 44 in stage 2. The sample consisted of 64 observation opportunities. Among the domains observed, the recording of indication of permanence had an 8% compliance rate; aseptic technique in catheter handling, 3%; maintenance of the infusion system, 15%; and care with the central venous catheter dressing, 17%. The domains represent unwanted care according to the Positivity Index for assessing the quality of care. The findings show the need for discussions, training, and investments in constant strategies for the prevention of primary bloodstream infections related to the central venous catheter.
