Özet

Objective: Although central venous catheter (CVC) is a vital initiative, it causes serious complication among intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The most important of these is catheter related bloodstream infection (CRBSI). CRBSI increases morbidity, mortality and costs. The aim of this review is to examine the results of implemented interventions as the bundle of evidence-based guidelines recommendations for prevention and/or reduction of CRBSI among adult hospitalized patients in the ICU.
