Methodology: This is an integrative review, between 2009 and 2014, in the LILACS, MEDLINE and SciELO databases. After the selection of the material, a systematic reading of the references was made, analyzing them according to the theme in question, 10 articles were selected. Results: Bloodstream infections are a frequent complication, in which short-term CVCs are the main causes of these infections. The frequency of dressing replacement was the most commonly found in the study. Conclusion: the preventive measures that have the greatest impact in reducing the risks of central venous catheter infection are the implementation of training programs, continuing education and the use of blundles.
