Influence of remaining needle on central venous catheter-related infection

Objective To investigate the influence of central venous catheter-related infection among different remaining needle.Methods The infection of central venous catheter with remaining needle in patients of comprehensive ICU was analyzed.Results There was the highest infection rate(31.2%) in femoral vein catheter group,followed by subclavian vein catheter group and jugular vein catheter(13.7%,15.4%),peripheral venous catheter infection rate was lowest(3.8%).The difference among three groups was statistical significance(P0.01).Gram-positive bacteria was the major pathogenic bacterium.Conclusion The infection of central venous catheter was correlated with the puncture approach,central venous catheter to adopt the peripheral venous puncture approach may lower significantly catheter-related infection rate.
