TL;DR
This study found that longer mechanical ventilation and prone positioning increase the risk of bloodstream infections in ICU patients with COVID-19.
Contribution
The study identifies specific clinical factors linked to central line infections in a public ICU setting for COVID-19 patients.
Findings
Longer time on mechanical ventilation was associated with a higher risk of central line infections.
Prone positioning also increased the risk of central line-associated bloodstream infections.
Most patients were male with an average age of 57.93 years and used double lumen catheters.
Abstract
to investigate the association between central line-associated bloodstream infections and clinical and care variables of intensive care unit patients with COVID-19 hospitalized at a reference public health institution. a case-control study. the study sample consisted of 70 patients diagnosed with central line-associated bloodstream infections (case group) and 70 non-infected patients (control group). Most patients were male, with mean age of 57.93±13.93 years old and provided with a double lumen catheter. Median time of central line-associated bloodstream infections onset was 11 (8-18) days. Longer time on mechanical ventilation ( P =0.014; OR: 1.79; 95% CI: 0.91-3.51) and prone position ( P =0.017; OR: 2.41; 95% CI: 1.22-4.81) were associated with central line-associated bloodstream infections onset. longer time on invasive mechanical ventilation and prone position contributed to…
