Brief Summary

This study aims to evaluate the incidence of infection of short-term central venous catheters by comparing different cannulation techniques (by anatomical references and under ultrasound control) and according to the experience of the operator in patients undergoing elective surgery. A prospective observational study will be carried out in which all scheduled surgery patients who have a central venous line inserted for 12 months will be included. Those under 18 years of age, patients with catheters lasting more than 14 days and those who do not sign the informed consent will be excluded from this study. A chest X-ray will be performed on all patients in order to diagnose possible complications associated with the technique and, only in case of suspected infection, culture of the catheter tip and blood cultures of blood obtained from the catheter and peripheral blood will be requested.

Conditions

Catheter-Related Infections

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Incidence of infection among short-term central venous catheters inserted in the scheduled perioperative setting.

  Review of the clinical follow-up of each patient to evaluate the appearance of catheter related infection through its clinical manifestations and microbiological data.

  From the immediate postoperative period to the 21st postoperative day

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Number of patients suffering from complications after the different techniques and operators.

  From the immediate postoperative period to the first postoperative day

• Assess risk factors for catheter-related infection

  From the immediate postoperative period to the 21st postoperative day

Interventions

Central catheter insertion PROCEDURE

The data will be obtained through the review of the medical records and the clinical follow-up of each patient to evaluate the technique of inserting the device, the possible risk factors of catheter-related infection, its clinical manifestations and the data microbiological.

Eligibility Criteria
