    Peripheral venous catheterization is associated with a low infection risk when strict aseptic techniques are used. Continuous intravenous team coverage significantly reduces the incidence of local and systemic infections from cannulas.

    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Clinical Microbiology
    • Hospital Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Peripheral venous catheterization is a common procedure.
    • Infection is a potential complication of peripheral venous catheters.
    • Standardized techniques are crucial for accurate assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the incidence of local and systemic infection associated with peripheral venous catheterization.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of continuous intravenous team coverage and aseptic techniques in preventing catheter-related infections.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective bacteriological and clinical study.
    • Involved 1,696 peripheral venous cannulas.
    • Used standardized techniques and semiquantitative culture on solid media.

    Main Results:

    • 41 cannulas (2.4%) yielded positive cultures (≥15 colonies).
    • 318 cannulas (18.8%) showed contamination.
    • No cases of septicemia were observed.
    • Local inflammation showed no correlation with positive cannula culture.

    Conclusions:

    • Strict aseptic technique and continuous intravenous team coverage achieve an extremely low infection rate.
    • The semiquantitative culture technique is reliable but requires further study for contamination thresholds and phlebitis criteria.
