Epidemiological Investigation of Central Venous Catheter-related Bloodstream Infections in Icus in China

In recent years, with the rapid advancement of medical technology and the rapid development of critical care medicine, the use of various central venous catheters in icus has been increasing day by day. Central venous catheter-related bloodstream infection (CLABSI), as a common catheter complication, preventable nosocomial acquired infections have gradually become a focus of attention in the ICU. Once CLABSI occurs, it often leads to a mortality rate as high as 28% to 30% for patients. Data from our country shows that patients with CLASBI will have their hospital stay extended by 8 to 13 days. The additional cost has increased by 3,500 US dollars. Therefore, over the years, medical systems both at home and abroad have been committed to the prevention and control of CLABSI. The incidence of CLABSI in icus in the United States in 2020 was 0.87 per thousand catheter days. In 2018, the incidence rate of CLABSI in 79 icus in China was 1.5 per thousand catheter days. All the above incidence rates have decreased significantly compared with previous data. During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the global healthcare system faced severe challenges. Particularly, factors such as the aggravation of patients' conditions in icus, the sharp increase in the use of central venous catheters, the shortage of medical staff, and the ineffective implementation of CLABSI prevention measures jointly led to a significant increase in the incidence of CLABSI. The number of CLABSI cases recorded by the…
