2022, Journal of Hospital InfectionInterventions to decrease short-term peripheral venous catheter-related bloodstream infections: impact on incidence and mortality
2018, Journal of Hospital InfectionCitation Excerpt :Due to the large number of patients at risk, the likelihood of developing a vascular catheter-related adverse event is now much higher than ever before. Significantly, according to data provided by surveillance programmes, PVCR-BSIs may be responsible for almost one-quarter of vascular catheter-related BSIs [5,6]. Although less common than central venous catheter (CVC)-related bloodstream infections, PVCR-BSIs have distinctive characteristics [7].

2017, Revista Clinica EspanolaCitation Excerpt :For example, in one community hospital in our setting, 60 PVCs were placed for each CVC (unpublished data from Mataro Hospital; Mataro, Spain). In the laboratory-based surveillance registry of hospital-acquired CRB in Catalonia (northeast Spain) during 2007–2010, which included 2977 CRB episodes from 40 hospitals, 1 out of 5 episodes was caused by a PVC.9 Analysis of data from outside the ICU has shown that PVC infection is even more relevant in this setting.

2016, Cirugia CardiovascularCitation Excerpt :Other possible etiologies, albeit infrequent, have to be considered in special subsets of patients as those previously treated with antibiotics, with multiple comorbidities, immune depressed or hospitalized for long periods of time.63 S. aureus has become an increasingly impactful etiologic pathogen for bacteremia as it has been shown in several studies.3,4,64–66 For bacteremia related to central venous catheters, the etiology is well diversified.
