Patients are exposed to several risks during hospitalisation. One of the risks is the one associated with CRBSI or catheter related blood stream infection. This is one of the most common infections occurring to hospitalised patients; yet adequate measures are not taken to the maximum.

It is surprising to see a high number of blood stream infection related to catheter insertion occurring in hospitals. It is shocking to discover that eighty thousand separate cases of infections are reported annually due to improper hygiene carried out during catheter insertions. It is even more alarming to discover that from this number, a quarter of them can end up in fatality.

Some hospitals are now able to reduce the rate of CRBSI quite successfully. This is due to the fact that they have taken extreme measures in the utilization of catheter lines. Careful attention is given to each central line catheter and this is the key that leads to zero infection.

It is also important to educate every staff member of the hospital about the importance of using 100% sterile catheter lines. Nurses should be taught about the right way of sterilising the catheter lines and they should be reminded that this is a continual and not periodical task.

It is also crucial to deal with a professional central line catheter provider. A professional team is able to integrate mutual cooperation between nurses and physicians, and this will lead to lower risks of catheter-related infections.
