Abstract

Firstly in 1945, intravasculer catheters used by Meyer that are

taken extensively for administration of fluid and blood or medication and

parenteral nutrition in day times. They may remain in place for days or for

months according to kind of devices and application area. It was appeared the

various complications related intravasculer catheters with the major

complication is enfection. It was increased to cost of treatment, the rate of

mortality and morbidity and staying time of patiens in hospital by infections

associated with intravasculer catheters.

İNTRAVASKÜLER KATETER ENFEKSİYONLARINA TANISAL YAKLAŞIM

Abstract

İlk defa 1945 yılında Meyer tarafından kullanılmaya başlanan plastik

intravasküler kateterler ilaç, sıvı, kan verilmesi ya da parenteral beslenme

amacıyla günümüzde de sık olarak uygulanmaktadır [1,6]. Bu amaçla

kullanılan intravasküler kateterler cinslerine ve uygulandıkları yerlere göre

birkaç gün ya da birkaç ay gibi değişik sürelerde tutulabilirler. Katetere bağlı

başta enfeksiyonlar olmak üzere çeşitli komplikasyonlarla uğraşılmak

zorunda kalınmıştır. Katetere bağlı enfeksiyonlar, hastaların hastanede kalış

sürelerini, hastane maliyetlerini, mortalite ve morbidite oranını artırmaktadır.
