Preventing central line-associated bloodstream infections: A position paper of the International Society for Infectious Diseases, 2024 update
Abstract
A panel of experts convened by the International Society for Infectious Diseases (ISID) has reviewed and consolidated current recommendations for preventing vascular catheter infections, particularly central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs). This review provides healthcare professionals with insights into key issues such as the rates of CLABSI in high-income countries and low- and middle-income countries, the attributable extra length of stay, cost and mortality, and risk factors. This position paper highlights evidence-based strategies for preventing infections, applicable to both high-income and low- and middle-income countries.
