Preventing venous-catheters related infections

Significant clinical question. What are the guidelines for the Prevention of Intravascular Catheter-Related Infections? Catheter-related infections are serious complication for the central venous access. It also causes nosocomial infection in the ICU. To prevent catheter-related infection, we use various measures that are used in combination.

Guidelines should be developed for practitioners who are responsible for the surveillance and control of the infections in hospital or home health-care settings in order to improve health services. The guidelines should identify the performance essentials that should be used locally by health-care institutions so as to monitor and follow up the success after the implementation of the evidence-based recommendations put in place.Research practice gap. There is a gap thet exists between the known and what is practised in nurding. There is a problem while implementing a research result in nursing practice even if one has knowledge about an effective nursing intervention.
