Achieving adequate bacterial disinfection of needleless connectors while maximizing healthcare staff compliance with scrub and dry times may be best achieved with a combination CHG/IPA wipe.

Disinfection of needleless connectors to reduce Staphylococcus aureus bacterial load.

It is found that all tested disinfectants effectively reduced the bacterial load and more clinical studies must be developed with a focus on the Brazilian clinical practice of needleless connector disinfection.

Factors associated with the disinfection of devices attached to peripheral intravenous catheters performed by the nursing team in pediatric units

Performing friction below the recommended time can cause a false sense of prevention of catheter-associated bloodstream infection; therefore, training sessions and strategies for adherence to the disinfection procedures should be considered, mainly for professionals with more training time.

Challenges and Solutions for Reducing Infection Risks When Accessing Vascular Catheters

Catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) are the most common etiology of HAI and these can occur with central as well as peripheral intravascular catheters, with less frequent sources from hematogenous spread or contaminated infusate.

Incidence and risk factors for central venous access device failure in hospitalized adults: A multivariable analysis of 1892 catheters.

Modifiable risk factors were identified for CVAD failure, which occurred for 1-in-10 catheters, and strict infection prevention measures and improved CVAD securement could reduce CLABSI and dislodgement risk.
