Management
Short-term CVC or arterial line infection
- Uncomplicated: no other foci of infection, fever resolves promptly ≤72h, no other intravascular hardware, no evidence of endocarditis or suppurative thrombophlebitis, and (if S. aureus) no active malignancy or immunosuppression
- Coagulase-negative staphylococci: remove catheter and treat with antibiotic for 5-7 days; if catheter not removed, do lock therapy and treat for 10-14 days
- Staphylococcus aureus: remove catheter and treat with antibiotic for ≥14 days
- Enterococcus species: remove catheter and treat with antibiotic for 7-14 days
- Gram-negative bacillus: remove catheter and treat with antibiotic for 7-14 days
- Candida species: remove catheter and treat with antifungal for 14 days from first negative blood culture
- Complicated: anyone not meeting above definition of uncomplicated
