Background

  • For surveillance purposes, a CLABSI is essentially a bloodstream infection attributed to a catheter that was in place within 48 hours of blood culture
  • Catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) is defined by the IDSA
    • Confirmed
      • Peripheral culture and catheter tip culture both positive for same organism
      • Peripheral culture and catheter lumen culture both positive for same organism with either
        • Quantitative cultures showing β‰₯3-fold higher CFU from the catheter
        • Time-to-positivity of the catheter culture 2 hours earlier than that of the the peripheral
    • Possible
      • Quantitative cultures from two different lumens of the same catheter positive for the same organism with β‰₯3-fold difference in CFU between lumens

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
  • Complicated: anyone not meeting above definition of uncomplicated
    • Remove catheter and treat with antimicrobial for 4-6 weeks, or for 6-8 weeks if osteomyelitis

Long-term CVC or port infection

  • Definitions of complicated and uncomplicated are same as above
  • Uncomplicated
    • Coagulase-negative staphylococci: may retain and treat with lock therapy and antibiotic for 10-14 days; remove catheter if clinical deterioration or relapse
    • Staphylococcus aureus: remove catheter and treat with antibiotic for 4-6 weeks (some exceptions apply)
    • Enterococcus species: may retain and treat with lock therapy and antibiotic for 7-14 days; remove catheter if clinical deterioration or relapse
    • Gram-negative bacillus: remove catheter and treat with antibiotic for 7-14 days; if attempting salvage, treat with lock therapy and antibiotic for 10-14 days and reassess
    • Candida species: remove catheter and treat with antifungal for 14 days from first negative blood culture

Prevention

  • Perform hand hygiene, use aseptic technique when manipulating catheter, use barrier precaution for insertion
  • Remove catheters as soon as they are no longer needed
  • Antimicrobial-impregnated catheters may be helpful

Further Reading

  • Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Intravascular Catheter-Related Infection: 2009 Update. Clin Infect Dis. 2009:49(1):1-45. doi: 10.1086/599376
