Abstract
Backgound and Objectives: Infections related to central venous catheter (CVC) use constitute an important a problem. It is estimated that approximately 90% of bloodstream infections (BSI) are caused by CVC use. This study aims at reviewing the risk factors and current recommendations for prevention of infections associated with central venous catheter use. Methods: A total of 12 articles published in the last 5 years and indexed in the databases of the Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences (LILACS), Nursing Database (BDENF), International Literature on Health Sciences (Medline/Pubmed) were selected, as well as publications related to the recommendations for BSI prevention, such as: Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA). Results: Two categories were identified: prevention and control measures and risk factors for BSI associated with central venous catheter use. Conclusions: Some recommendations that were well-defined over the years have been questioned by some authors and continuing training and education of the multidisciplinary team are the most important factors for the prevention of bloodstream infections associated with CVC use.
