Infecciones asociadas a catéter venoso central relacionada a gérmenes más comunes en el área de UCIP en pacientes pediátricos entre 1 a 14 años en el Hospital del Niño, Dr. Francisco de Icaza Bustamante entre 1 de enero y 31 agosto del 2019.

Abstract

Within the PICU area, there are invasive interventions that need to be approached in a fortuitous way, guaranteeing a minimum infection. That is why, through an adequate asepsis - antisepsis is intended to reduce the risk of infection, since it is a common practice in this type of patients, having as Europe and America, the highest number of nosocomial infections. In our hospital environment as a co-helper, the use of 2% chlorhexidine has been implemented as an asepsis method to reduce the incidence. To associate central venous catheter-associated infections related to the most common germs in the PICU area in pediatric patients at the children's hospital, Dr. Francisco de Icaza Bustamante, from January 1 to August 31, 2019. The universe of 890 patients was obtained, of which 104 met the inclusion criteria; where it was found that the most common isolated germ is coagulase-negative staphylococcus, representing 43.3% of the sample. Likewise, the highest percentage was found in patients between 6 and 10 years of age, resulting in 45.6% of the sample. In another parameter, it was shown that the type of insertion that presented the most complications according to its anatomy was the jugular vein, with 19.2% of the sample.
