ABSTRACT

Background: catheter related infections (CRI) and bloodstream infection (BSI) associated to central venous catheter (CVC) is cause of frequent hospital- acquired infection (HAI) and a major reason of morbidity and mortality among patients and it is itself an indicator of quality health care.
Objective: to determine the incidence of CRI and BSI and to identify the hospital areas where they occurred over a five-year period.
Methods: a prospective study from 2004 to 2008 in a population of hospitalized patients who required the use of CVC was made. The HAI team detected the appearance of CRI during a daily routine surveillance.
Results: during the period of observation, 176 BSI were detected, accounting for 11 % of all HAI, and represented the third place in frequency. Incidence rate for 1000 catheter-days varied from 2.7 in 2006 to 5.4 in 2008; 57 % of these BSI were detected in the intensive care units. Candida spp. accounted as the more frequently isolated microorganism with predominance of C. parapsilosis.
Conclusions: our results and the incidence rate found in our study occurred within rates established in other studies.
