Catheter related infections may occur in up to 5% of patients at risk. Most infections are secondary to colonization of the subcutaneous tract of the catheter. The major risk factor for infection is the number of manipulations of the i.v. lines and sets. Semi-quantitative cultures of the catheter tip are necessary to differentiate colonization and contamination from true infection. Current studies attempt to evaluate new methods to predict infection before withdrawal of the catheter.
