Abstract
The present article is an update of the literature on catheter-related bloodstream infections in ICU patients. A multidisciplinary group of Spanish physicians with an interest in bloodstream infections selected the most important recently published papers produced in the field. One of the members of the group discussed the content of each of the selected papers, with a critical review by other members of the panel.
After a review of the state of the art, papers from the fields of epidemiology, causative microorganisms (bacterial and fungal), risk factors and prognosis, pathogenesis, laboratory diagnosis and prevention were discussed by the group.
Keywords:
Catheter-related bacteremia
Intensive care unit
Risk factors
Resumen
El artículo presente recoge una actualización bibliográfica de la bacteriemia relacionada con catéteres en unidades de cuidados intensivos. Un grupo multidisciplinario de clínicos españoles con experiencia en las infecciones relacionadas con catéteres seleccionó las publicaciones más importantes en este campo aparecidas recientemente. El contenido de cada uno de los artículos seleccionados fue expuesto y discutido por uno de los miembros del grupo, después de lo cual los miembros restantes efectuaron una revisión crítica.
Tras la revisión de la situación actual, el grupo discutió las publicaciones procedentes de los campos de la epidemiología, la etiología, la detección de factores de riesgo, la evolución y el pronóstico, la patogénesis, el diagnóstico de laboratorio y la prevención.
Palabras clave:
Bacteriemia asociada a catéter
Unidad de cuidados intensivos
Factores de riesgo
