Tóm tắt

Background: Central venous catheters (CVCs) are widely used in neuro-intensive care unit (Neuro-ICU), but carry a high risk of central venous catheter-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI). Minocycline/rifampicin-impregnated CVCs (M/R-CVCs) can reduce this risk, but limited data are available specifically for Neuro-ICU. Objective: To evaluate the incidence and microbiological profiles of CLABSI in Neuro-ICU patients with M/R-CVCs. Subject and method: A prospective study was conducted among critically ill adults with M/R-CVCs. Catheter segments and blood were cultured after removal. CLABSI was defined according to CDC/NHSN 2024 criteria. Result: Seventy adult patients were included in the study. The mean age of patients was 57.1 years (57.07 ± 17.37), and 46 (65.7%) were male. Most patients had ≥2 comorbidities (60/70, 85.7%), and catheters remained in place for >7 days (55/70, 78.6%). Catheter colonization occurred in 11 (15.7%) cases, mainly at the insertion site. The observation period was characterized by an absence of CLABSI. The colonizing organisms were primarily Gram-negative bacilli, while catheter and blood culture results remained uncorrelated. Conclusion: The use of M/R-CVC was associated with a low colonization rate and the absence of CLABSI, which supports its consideration for infection prevention in high-risk patients in the Neuro-ICU.
