Abstract
The frequency of nosocomial infections in intensive care unit (ICU) patients is estimated at 20%. Many of these infections are related to the frequent and prolonged use of intravascular devices. If ICU personnel are familiar with the established protocols for the selection, insertion, and maintenance of intravascular devices and are strict in their adherence to these protocols, it is expected that a significant number of these infections can be avoided.
