摘要
Intravascular catheter-related infections remain a significant cause of morbidity and mortality despite clear guidelines on insertion and care, which should aid in their prevention. New approaches in the diagnosis of these infections, which do not require removal of the catheter, and novel technologies, including the application of antimicrobial agents to the catheter, have demonstrated some degree of success in prevention.
