Intravascular catheter colonization in critically ill children.

Abstract:

:In a prospective study, cultures were obtained of all intravascular catheters removed from children in an intensive care unit. Of 366 catheters removed from 217 children, 110 (30%) were found to be colonized, most commonly with coagulase-negative staphylococci. Despite the high rate of colonization, there were only nine instances (2%) of catheter-related bacteremia.
