| Opis: | Introduction. Intravascular catheter-related infection is the major complication in patients with intravascular catheter. Intravascular catheter-related infection rate is derived by dividing the number of these infections between day-line vascular catheters and multiplied x 1 000. Educational initiatives decrease the rate of intravascular catheter-related infections according to different studies. Objectives: To determine the rate of STI / CVC in the Neonatal Intensive Care Service, implement preventive actions and quantify the impact.Methods. We compared the rate of intravascular catheter-related infections before and after an educational intervention.Results. In the pre intervention period a rate of 32.84 infections per 1,000 observed days (fourth quarter 2012 and first quarter of 2013) and in the post intervention period the rate is 8.28 infections per 1000 days. (Third quarter and fourth quarter of 2013).infections in 2 850 catheter-days and the rate decreased to 5.6, which was statistically significant.Conclusions. Educational initiatives aimed at decreasing the rate of intravascular catheter-related infections were shown to be effective. |
