Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Medical Microbiology
  • Hospital Epidemiology

Context:

  • Intravascular device-related infections (IVDIs) represent a significant burden of nosocomial infections.
  • Over 200,000 cases of bloodstream infections linked to intravascular devices occur annually in the United States.
  • Common causative agents include Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida species.

Purpose:

  • To highlight the importance of preventing and treating catheter-related infections.
  • To review existing research on methods for preventing and treating IVDIs.
  • To emphasize the need for novel approaches in managing these infections.

Summary:

  • Current prevention and treatment strategies for IVDIs encompass diagnosis, barrier precautions, catheter replacement schedules, site care, insertion site selection, and material choice.
  • Existing research has explored various methods to combat these infections.
  • Despite current measures, there remains a critical need for innovative solutions.

Impact:

  • Improved understanding of IVDI prevalence and causative agents.
  • Consolidation of current knowledge on prevention and treatment modalities.
  • Stimulation of further research and development of novel strategies to reduce the incidence and impact of IVDIs.
