Abstract

Infectious Diseases Life Sciences & Biomedicine Public, Environmental & Occupational Health Science & Technology
There are currently no guidelines for central-line insertion site evaluation. Our study revealed an association between insertion site inflammation (ISI) and the development of central-line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs). Automated surveillance for ISI is feasible and could help prevent CLABSI.
