Intravascular catheter-related infection (IDSA 2009)

Background

  • Short-term catheters are those left in for less than 14 days
    • More commonly skin flora on the external surface
  • Long-term catheters are ≥14 days
    • Increasingly likely to have intraluminal spread from the catheter hub
  • CRBSIs involve the insertion site, the hub, or both

Organisms

  • Percutaneously-inserted catheters
    • Coagulase-negative staphylococci
    • Staphylococcus aureus
    • Candida spp
    • Enteric Gram-negative bacilli
  • Surgically-implanted catheters and peripherally-inserted central lines
    • Coagulase-negatives staphylococci
    • Enteric Gram-negative bacilli
    • Staphylococcus aureus
    • Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Diagnosis

Catheter Cultures

  • Should be done when a catheter-related bloodstream infection is suspected
  • Culture the tip, either with a 5 cm roll-plate culture or sonication
    • Positive when > 15 cfu from roll-tip or >10^2^ cfu from sonication
  • Catheter site swab when there is drainage

Blood Cultures

  • However, positive cultures for typical organisms in the abscense of another focus of infection is suggestive
  • They should be obtained prior to starting antibiotics
  • Make sure skin and hub are cleaned with alcohol prior to drawing cultures
  • Growth from the central line detected at least 2 hours before growsth from the peripheral blood culture (i.e. differential time-to-positivity) is most predictive
    • They should be done at the same time with the same volume of blood per bottle

Summary

![Figure 1: Methods for the diagnosis of acute fever for a paitent suspected of having short-term central venous catheter infection or arterial cather infection](Figure 1.png)

General Management

  • Day 1 is the first day of negative blood culture results

Empiric antimicrobials

  • Empiric treatment must include Gram-positives
    • Vancomycin is the preferred empiric choice for settings with high rates of MRSA; daptomycin if there are high rates of MIC >2
    • Linezolid is to be avoided
  • For femoral catheters in critically ill patients, also cover Gram-negative bacilli and Candida
  • May need to cover Candida in the following situations:
    • TPN
    • Prolonged broad-spectrum antibiotics
    • Hematologic malignancy
    • Bone marrow or solid-organ transplant
    • Femoral catheterization
    • Colonization from Candida at many sites
  • Empiric candidal coverage should be with an echinocandin
    • Fluconazole is an alternative if no azole exposure in 3 months and hospital has low risk of C. krusei or C. glabrata
  • If fungemia or bacteremia persists after removing the line beyond 72 hours, treat for 4 to 6 weeks

Removing the line

  • Long-term catheters should be removed if:
    • Severe sepsis
    • Suppurative thrombophlebitis
    • Endocarditis
    • Bloodstream infection despite >72 hours of therapy
    • Infections due to S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, fungi, or mycobacteria
  • Short-term catheters should be removed if:
    • Gram-negative bacilli, S. aureus, enterococci, fungi, or mycobacteria
  • Both catheters should generally be removed in cases of difficult-to-treat bacteria: Bacillus spp, Micrococcus spp, or Propionibacterium

Salvaging the line

  • Only do it if not meeting the above criteria
  • Additional blood cultures should be obtained, and line removed if persistently positive
  • Lock therapy should be used concurrently with systemic antimicrobials

Short-term PIVs

  • IVs that have pain, induration, erythema, or exudate should be removed
  • Exudate should be sent for culture, including fungi and AFB if immunocompromised
